First pass at updating javax.lang.model's usage of the word "type" to correspond to changes in usage of "type" being made in JLS.

Updating @jls tags to renamed JLS sections will be done under a different bug id.

Paragraphs not reflowed initially to easy reviewing. Paragraph will be reflowed and copyright year updated before a push is done.
