Sam Brannen 6062363738 Use canonical names in error messages in annotation processing ...

Prior to this commit, we invoked `Class.getName()` when building error
messages during annotation processing, resulting in exceptions like the
following which use binary names for nested types and arrays.

  Attribute 'chars' in annotation
  org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationUtilsTests$CharsContainer
  should be compatible with [C but a [I value was returned

This commit switches to canonical names in error messages in annotation
processing, resulting in improved such errors messages such as the
following.

  Attribute 'chars' in annotation
  org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationUtilsTests.CharsContainer
  should be compatible with char[] but a int[] value was returned

In addition, this commit introduces a new getCanonicalName(Class) method
in ClassUtils, which has effectively been extracted from the following
classes where this functionality was previously duplicated.

- AttributeMethods
- SynthesizedMergedAnnotationInvocationHandler
- TypeDescriptor
- DefaultRetryPolicy
- ReflectiveIndexAccessor

Closes gh-36607
