RFR: 8343251: Facelift for Type and AnnotatedType specifications [v5]

[Chen Liang]

> The Type and AnnotatedType hierarchies have been enigmatic to new users: users have no clue how to categorize arbitrary type objects, when it is safe to cast to more specific types, and the exact conditions for method contracts.
> 
> A manifest is [JDK-8306039](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8306039), where people are massively confused by the conditions for `ParameterizedType::getOwnerType` to return `null`.
> 
> To fix these problems, I consulted the JLS, used some terms from there and added JLS links to make the definitions concise and accurate.
> 
> Here are some actions:
> 1. Add section for hierarchy overview for both Type and AnnotatedType
> 2. Specify the underlying type for different AnnotatedType subinterfaces
> 3. Define "inner member class" for `getOwnerType`, and refer to it in `AnnotatedType::getAnnotatedOwnerType`.
> 4. Improve the specification for `ParameterizedType::getActualTypeArguments` to note the existence of owner types; also for annotated version
> 5. Minor improvements to `ParameterizedType::getRawType`
> 6. Move the equals specification for `ParameterizedType` to the actual `equals` method.
> 
> API diffs: https://cr.openjdk.org/~liach/8343251-apidiff/java.base/java/lang/reflect/package-summary.html
> 
> Please review the associated CSR as well.
