RFR JDK-8207790: [lworld] update reflection to generate ValueTypes attribute

Updated webrev:

This revision updates proxy class generator to add ValueTypes attribute
and also added a test to verify the ValueTypes attributes generated by
three (so far) bytecode generators.  One bad news though: the proxy
class generator was written 19 years ago per the history and no stack
map table and so it has to stay in class file version 49.  We will
have to upgrade the proxy class generator (JDK-8207814).
