RFR: 8198526: getAnnotatedOwnerType does not handle static nested classes correctly

[Joel Borggrén-Franck]

Hi Liam,

I read the spec bugs, we had a similar discussion a few years ago
about the scoping. Given how all implementations of javac have behaved
for the last 4 years or so, I agree this is the right fix. Thanks for
the extra test.

Ship it!

cheers

That wasn't consistent with JVMS 11, which expects type_path_kind=1 entries for all nested types (regardless of whether the enclosing type is admissable for annotations). The resolution was to update the spec in JDK-8215035 and leave javac's behaviour unchanged, and this change is updating reflection to be consistent with the updated spec and the existing javac behaviour.
