RFR: JDK-8281462: Annotation toString output for enum not reusable for source input [v2]

> 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.
> 
> Please also review the CSR:
