RFR: JDK-8249829: javac is issuing an incorrect static access error

[Vicente Romero]

Please review fix for [1] at [2]. This is a follow up of JDK-8247790, 
the checks added to forbid local static types to access type and local 
variables defined out of theirs scope was not totally correct and was 
issuing an error for code like:

import java.security.*;
class Test {
     static Test newInstance(Object provider) {
         return new Test() {
             private final PrivilegedExceptionAction<KeyStore> action =new PrivilegedExceptionAction<KeyStore>() {
                 public KeyStore run()throws Exception {
                     if (provider ==null) {}  <-------- compiler was issuing an error because of this access
                     return null;
                 }
             };
         };
     }
}

Thanks,
Vicente
