Phillip Webb daec3531b3 Support String->Class adaptation in MergedAnnotation
Update TypeMappedAnnotation so that Strings can be used to represent
Class attribute values. This will allow ASM annotation readers to
present a `MergedAnnotation` instance without necessarily having the
actual class values on the classpath.

When the underlying value is a String, any calls to
`getValue(name, String.class)` or `asMap(Adapt.CLASS_TO_STRING)` will
simply return the original String. Calls that need the actual Class
result (such as `getClass`) will use `Class.forName` and may throw
a `ClassNotFoundException` at that point.

This commit also allows an empty Object[] to be used to represent
any empty primitive array.
