root cause of remaining javadoc failures

[Werner Dietl]

Jon,

I expanded on the test case in this changeset:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/type-annotations/type-annotations/langtools/rev/f90d05a438f4

If an annotation has @Target TYPE_PARAMETER, I would not expect it to
influence the type field of the TypeVariableSymbol. Still, those
declaration annotations do not seem to show up in the generated
javadoc.
It looks like something else is not quite right with how javadoc
handles type parameters. Please let me know if you see what's wrong.

Thanks,
cu, WMD.
