Hi all,

  please review this change that changes the filler array class name (again) after user feedback.

In particular, the previous name `Ljdk/internal/vm/FillerArray;` confuses some tools (https://github.com/oracle/visualvm/issues/523). I.e. it's not an array, but still variable sized.
This change adds the `[` array bracket, and renames the element name to not have `Array` inside to not try to pretend that the element is some other kind of array.

Testing: tier1-6

Thanks,
  Thomas
