JDK 8 code review request for 6226715: (ann) java.lang.annotation.AnnotationTypeMismatchException could not be serialized

[Joe Darcy]

Hello.

Please review my JDK 8 fix for

    6226715: (ann) java.lang.annotation.AnnotationTypeMismatchException 
could not be serialized
    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/6226715.0/

This fix includes the unusual step of marking a non-transient field 
transient in a serialiable class, but the class can't meaningfully be 
serialized today anyway so this change should have no adverse effect in 
practice.

For good code hygiene, the new readObject method explicitly sets the now 
transient field in question.

Thanks,

-Joe
