This change applies a stricter semantic distinction of 'type' versus 'class and interface'. This is based on the JLS changes described in the "Consistent Class and Interface Terminology" document: https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk16/docs/specs/class-terminology-jls.html.
The following rules were applied:
- 'class' and/or 'interface' are used when referring to the class/interface itself
- 'type' is used when referring to the type of a variable or expression
-------------
Commit messages:
- replace one more occurrence
- change type to class in java.lang.Record
- change type to class in Enum.java
