JDK-8004698 - Implement Core Reflection for Type Annotations
Description
In AnnotatedTypeBaseImpl, a decl field is declared, referring to the declaration that the AnnotatedType is from. However, this field is not used anywhere except passing to constructors of other implementations; it's not used in debug messages (unlike in TypeAnnotation), not involved in equality checks. Since these implementations are not serializable, we can safely remove the decl field from the implementations.
