[foreign RFR 8211713: jdk.jextract should avoid using java.base internal packages

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

I think that as a temporary measure, what you did is ok.

(btw, I believe that Types shouldn't even be in the binder, and that the 
binder should only rely on NativeTypes)

That said, I think that moving forward it'd be nice if instead of using 
predefined layouts we relied on clang to tell us the size of the type 
(even if it's a primitive) and build a layout from there (and then pick 
a suitable carrier depending on that size). In other words, I see the 
current code as a temporary measure until we get more portability, so 
I'm ok with it (for now).
