Description
Two goals:

1) Prepare the ground for JLS8 to say "declaration annotations" (a.k.a. element annotations) and "type annotations".

2) Bring over "directly present" and "present" from j.l.r.AnnotatedElement so that repeatability is supported in the language model.

See CCC 8008703 for javadoc for jx.l.m.AnnotatedConstruct + jx.l.m.e.ExecutableElement + jx.l.m.t.TypeMirror.
