RFR: JDK-8281238: TYPE_USE annotations not printed in correct position in toString output

To use a type annotation on a fully qualified type name, the annotations must appear between the package name and the type:

    java.lang. @TypeAnnotation String // good

and *not* before the fully qualified name

   @TypeAnnotation java.lang.String // bad

This required ordering is not preserved in the toString output of TypeMirrors in annotation processing. This changeset corrects that and updates a few tests that assume the older formatting.

(This listed update to the given toString method is necessary; I don't believe any of the other Type toString methods also need to be updated, but some might need updating too.)
