8257639: Update usage of "type" terminology in java.lang.Enum & java.lang.Record

[FrauBoes]

This change applies a stricter semantic distinction of 'type' versus 'class and interface'. This is based on the JLS changes described in the "Consistent Class and Interface Terminology" document: https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk16/docs/specs/class-terminology-jls.html.

The following rules were applied:

• 'class' and/or 'interface' are used when referring to the class/interface itself
• 'type' is used when referring to the type of a variable or expression
