Description
JSR175 supports annotations on packages.  javac must implement this.

- add package annotation to the syntax

- give an error if a package annotation appears anywhere but in
  a source file named package-info.java

- store package annotations on a synthetic class named "package-info"

- also store javadoc that appears attached to the package declaration.
  (where?)

Other API changes must also be made to bring the
implementation in line with the latest draft spec.
