URL: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/3114
<!-- Explain the changes in the pull request below: -->
https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/2553 had added the ability to access
field annotations in java.
In our use-case, we would like to annotate arbitrary types and re-use it
without explicitly re-annotating each field.
e.g.
```
struct should_mask {
} (a = "b")
struct struct_1 {
1: should_mask field;
}
struct struct_2 {
1: should_mask field;
}
```
instead of
```
struct should_mask {
}
struct struct_1 {
1: should_mask field (a = "b")
}
struct struct_2 {
1: should_mask field (a = "b")
}
```
I would like to propose that `FieldMetaData#getFieldAnnotations` returns
annotations on types as well to achieve this.
Misc1) If it feels safer to hide this change behind an option (i.e.
type_annotations_as_metadata_), then I can also make this change
Misc2) If it is preferred that type annotations are exposed via a different
method, I can make this change as well. Overall, I'm happy if there is a way to
access annotations added to types from Java.

request. -->
- [ ] Did you create an [Apache
Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/THRIFT/issues/) ticket?
([Request account here](https://selfserve.apache.org/jira-account.html), not
required for trivial changes)
- [ ] If a ticket exists: Does your pull request title follow the pattern
"THRIFT-NNNN: describe my issue"?
- [ ] Did you squash your changes to a single commit? (not required, but
preferred)
- [ ] Did you do your best to avoid breaking changes? If one was needed,
did you label the Jira ticket with "Breaking-Change"?
- [ ] If your change does not involve any code, include `[skip ci]` anywhere
in the commit message to free up build resources.
