JDK 14 RFR of JDK-8222369: ExecutableElement.getReceiverType returns null instead of NOTYPE

[Joseph D. Darcy]

Hello,

Now that there is a line of development for JDK 14 separate from JDK 13, 
please review the fix and CSR for

     JDK-8222369: ExecutableElement.getReceiverType returns null instead 
of NOTYPE
     webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8222369.1/
     CSR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8225755

For ElementStructureTest.java, I mapped back the results of 
getReceiverType to null to verify no other behavior of the method was 
unintentionally changed. The hashes used for comparison in the test 
could be updated instead.

Since there is the possibility users of the method might have worked 
around its old behavior, getting the fix into build 01 of JDK 14 
maximizes the time to flush out any behavioral incompatibilities.

Thanks,

-Joe
