type annotation reflection test spec review

[Alex Buckley]

Thanks Charlie.

- Please add 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/type-annotations-spec-experts/2012-September/000001.html 
as a reference.

- For TYPE_USE annotations on a class declaration, there is 
Class.getAnnotationsByType() to test as well as Class.getAnnotations(). 
Note that @Target(TYPE) should be @Target(TYPE_USE) in the final column.

- Executable should have getAnnotatedReturnType() - it was omitted by 
mistake, but will be integrated very soon. (See JDK-8007808)

- Don't forget that Class/Method.getTypeParameters() now return a 
TypeVariable that is an AnnotatedElement and exposes annotations on type 
parameters.

- You are right to say that AnnotatedType.getType() is covered by other 
tests. The same is true for its four subtypes - they can only be tested 
when suitable objects are returned from 
Class/Executable/Field/TypeVariable.getAnnotatedXXX(). So really, there 
is no need to have any rows for AnnotatedType and its subtypes.

- The page covers the core reflection API; what about the language model 
API?
