JDK-8042981 - Strip type annotations in Types' utility methods
Description
As a follow-up to stripping annotations from type mirrors returned by methods in Types (JDK-8042981), it would be helpful to provide methods to add annotations. Sketch of a proposal:

<T extends TypeMirror> T withAnnotations(T typeMirror, List<? extends 
AnnotationMirror> annotations)

<T extends TypeMirror> T withAnnotations(T typeMirror, 
AnnotatedConstruct annotationHost)
