8244559: [lworld] Lambda and parameterized ref of an inline type doesn't work well

[sadayapalam]

Jim, Could you please review this patch which fixes two problems? TIA.

(1) Basically, the code to create AST nodes from a Type is not handling reference
projection types properly. Given a type V.ref<T>, it ends up creating AST that
look like V<T>.ref rather than V.ref<T>

(2) When V<T> is a nested static class, the construct V.ref<T> appears to
access a static member type of the parameterized type V which is usually an
error. But ref is not really a member and so this should be tolerated.
