JDK 8 code review request for 8014836: Have GenericDeclaration extend AnnotatedElement

[Joe Darcy]

Hello,

Please review the patch below which implements

     8014836: Have GenericDeclaration extend AnnotatedElement

All the existing implementations of GenericDeclaration in the JDK 
already implement AnnotatedElement. Some code in java.lang.Class needed 
to be adjusted slightly since AnnotatedElement declares a default method 
and calling an interface's default method in an implementing class has 
to go through the direct interface type.

Thanks,

-Joe
