JDK-6298888 - Add toGenericString to j.l.Class and getTypeName to j.l.reflect.Type

A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Same as Constructor, Field and Method do already, prepend (Modifier.toString(modifiers) + " ") when modifiers != 0

JUSTIFICATION :

Comments
Work in progress; will fix in conjunction with JDK-6298888.

EVALUATION In principle a reasonable request, but would likely run afoul of behavioral compatability with changing Class.toString. However, a new Class.toGenericString method might be able to print the modifiers too.
