Hello,

As noted by Werner [1], one of the discussions of the kinds of types in 
java.lang.annotation was not updated for records. I checked 
java.lang.annotation, java.lang.reflect, and java.lang.Class and found 
another location to update:

     JDK-8236877: Add "record" to descriptions in java.lang.{annotation, 
reflect}
     http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8236877.0/

I kept long-lines for the review to make review the change easier; I'll 
re-flow the text before pushing.

Patch below; thanks,

-Joe
