RFR: JDK-8057804: AnnotatedType interfaces provide no way to get annotations on owner type

[Claes Redestad]

Hi Joel,

looks good. I see a CCC has been filed.

Nits:
In AnnotatedTypeFactory.java, newly introduced 
EMPTY_TYPE_ANNOTATION_ARRAY could be used to replace a few occurrences 
of new TypeAnnotation[0] in the code above).

In TypeAnnotation.java:
New method popLocation(byte tag) seems to be unused, and popLocation() 
is only used from popAllLocations(byte tag), so it might suffice to only 
keep popAllLocations:

         public LocationInfo popAllLocations(byte tag) {
             LocationInfo l = this;
             int depth = l.depth;
             while(depth > 0 && l.locations[depth - 1].tag == tag) {
                 depth--;
             }
             if (depth != l.depth) {
                 Location[] res = new Location[depth];
                 System.arraycopy(this.locations, 0, res, 0, depth);
                 return new LocationInfo(depth, res);
             }
             return l;
         }

Not a reviewer, easy to ignore. :-)
