Hello,

Please review this patch which fixes issues that arise with
getGenericParameterTypes() and getAnnotatedParameterTypes() when there
are generic signatures and synthetic parameters.

Please note that a complete fix is not possible for all cases.  See
discussion on https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8062582 for details.

This patch will cause Executable.getAnnotatedParameterTypes(),
Parameter.getAnnotatedType(), and Parameter.getParameterizedType() to
report the correct types in the following cases:

* No generic signature is present.
* Both a generic signature and method parameters information are present
* A generic signature is present, but method parameters information is
not present, but the number of parameters in the generic signature and
the number of parameters in the method descriptor are the same.

In the problematic case, where there is a generic signature, no method
parameters information, and the generic signature does not match the
method descriptor, these methods will return the correct /non/-generic
type, as there is no general way of associating parameters in the
generic signature with those in the method descriptor in this case.

Please also note that there is currently a bug in javac which causes
type annotations' parameter indexes to be wrong when synthetic
parameters are generated: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029012.
