Summary:
Previous implementation supported only stringy params (strings and
stringified bools). Current one exposes a proper variant `Annot.t`,
with support for all possible param values in Java except
numbers (more on that below).
This change is required for implementing `Nullsafe(LOCAL)` as the
annotation used to specify nullsafe behaviour has a more complex
structure than what we've dealt with before.
**Why support for number values was not added**: supporting numbers
requires using `int64`. Unfortunately, adding another variant `Vnum
int64` to `Annot.t` causes a runtime failure on assert in
`MaximumSharing.ml:133`. It seems that it might be enough to flip
`fail_on_nonstring` from `true` to `false`, but since this would
require additional testing and is not required for my case, I'll leave
checking this to whoever needs to use numeric annot params in future.
