Another change to align with upcoming changes in the JLS terminology ('type' versus 'class and interface').

For background see: https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk16/docs/specs/class-terminology-jls.html

Where a class models types (as in the type of a variable or an expression), the change in terminology is mostly not applicable. For easier reviewing, paragraphs will only be reflowed before the PR is integrated.
