RFR: JDK-8265270: Type.getEnclosingType() may fail with CompletionFailure

The setup is a little bit tricky, but it may happen that user code calls `Type{Mirror}.getEnclosingType()` (or e.g. `Type{Mirror}.toString()` which will in turn invoke `getEnclosingType()`), and the method may throw the `CompletionFailure` (internal) exception. The reason is that the corresponding Symbol is completed using a `complete` method, instead of `apiComplete` method, which is intended to be used in API methods. `apiComplete` does the same as `complete` when running in a javac context, but will suppress the exception when the API method was invoked from a user code, avoiding the exception.

The proposed change is to use `apiComplete`, as it should be done in implementations of API methods.
