RFR: JDK-8236266: change error message for the case when a class extends j.l.Record

[Tagir Valeev]

Hello!

What about merging this message with already existing

compiler.err.enum.no.subclassing=\
    classes cannot directly extend java.lang.Enum
?

I mean, enum could reuse the same message passing java.lang.Enum as
{0}. Or this is to big change?

Tagir.
