Sam Brannen f993e9710d Align with JDK by throwing TypeNotPresentException in MergedAnnotations
Prior to this commit, we used ClassUtils.resolveClassName() in
TypeMappedAnnotation.adapt(...) which throws an IllegalStateException
or IllegalArgumentException if a type referenced by an annotation
attribute cannot be loaded. However, if such an error occurs while
using the JDK's reflection APIs, a TypeNotPresentException is thrown
instead.

In order to align with the standard behavior of the JDK, this commit
modifies TypeMappedAnnotation.adapt(...) to use ClassUtils.forName()
and throw a TypeNotPresentException in such scenarios.

This commit also makes similar changes in
MergedAnnotationReadingVisitor and ClassFileAnnotationDelegate.

Closes gh-36593
