> With this change, javac emits the MethodParameters attribute in cases where the JLS requires the information about synthetic and mandated parameters to be stored (see issue).
> Parameter names are *not* emitted unless the `-parameter` flag is set.
>
> The relevant changes are in `ClassWriter`, where we go through the params to see if we need the attribute if the `-parameter` flag is not set (if it is set, both names and flags will be emitted).
> For records, the mandated flag wasn't set at all, this is solved by the one line fix in `JavacParser`.
>
> The changes to `CreateSymbols` and `ClassReader` are needed as they weren't able to deal with missing names in the attribute.
> I also had to update some tests as they got a new constant pool entry.
>
> Only the mandated flag is covered by tests at the moment, as the occurrences are well-specified in the JLS.
> Please let me know if you want tests for specific appearances of synthetic parameters.
