[lworld] javac allows Value Type generic parameters with var

[Srikanth]

Thanks James and Remi.

I have pushed a fix here: 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/valhalla/valhalla/rev/b0d7c517ee62

(this special cases and tolerates Class<ValueType> at the moment so that 
ValueType.class does not become an error)
