The `Depend` build tool creates a hash of a module's API elements, so that it 
can determine if downstream modules require recompilation. The build tool fails 
(throws an exception) when it encounters an "unknown" record 
attribute/component - the build tool predates records.

The components of a public record class, that is a member of an exported 
package, are logically part of the module's API. The name, type, and order are 
significant. This issue updates the build tool to include the aforementioned 
component characteristics.

This issue is a blocker to adding any public record types to the JDK - since 
the build will fail.
