Two changes to the toString output for annotations to give better source fidelity:
1) For enum constants, call their name method rather than their toString method. An enum class can override the toString method to print something other than the name.
2) Switch from using binary names (names with "$" for nested types) to canonical names (names with "." with nested types)
Various existing regression tests are updated to accommodate the changes.
