RFR: 8370976: Review the behavioral changes of core reflection descriptor parsing migration

There were a few other holes in the recent migration of BytecodeDescriptor, most notably:

1. BytecodeDescriptor is missing checks for `.`, `[` characters, leading, trailing, consecutive `/`, or empty name.
2. EnclosingMethod is only validated by hotspot to carry either field or method type. We still need to check for field types

I have written up the behavioral changes in the CSR. In addition, I have added a few more tests to ensure the failure case behaviors of the migrated use sites.
