> Adds a new AnnotationProcessor to read the @MigratedValueClass on prospective value classes and generate the equivalent source file with the 'value' keyword at each annotated class declaration.
>
> This adds new PROCESSOR_PATH variable to the compilation macro and use it for annotation processing.
> This also requires moving the plugin discovery path to the new variable (was in classpath before) because the addition of a '--processor-path' flag disables using the classpath for plugin discovery.
>
> For now this is all limited to `java.base` but that's expandable later easily. There was an issue just enabling it for all modules however (esp. `jdk.incubator` which might be special).
>
> While there is currently no specific unit test for this code, if it were to fail to generate the correct value classes, a lot of other downstream tests would fail.
