RFR: 8375571: Compiler crash when using record pattern matching with a generic type parameter shadowing a record class

Consider code like:

    <T> void typeVarTest(T p) {
        if (p instanceof T(int i) && i == 0); //T is a type variable
    }


The `T` in the deconstruction pattern will be resolve to `TypeVariableSymbol`, which has kind `TYP`, but is not `ClassSymbol`, so the cast will fail. Using `instanceof ClassSymbol` would work better, which is what this PR is doing.
