This CL removes the notion of core types from the spec. Instead of referring to core types, each section that did so before is reverted to approx. the pre-generics (1.17) prose, and additional paragraphs cover the type parameter cases as needed. The hope is that this makes it easier to read the spec. When type parameters are involved, the extra prose is local to the language feature in question and thus more readily available. When no type parameters are present, readers do not have to concern themselves with core types. In contrast to CL 621919, this change is not intended to loosen the spec in any way and therefore does not change the language (if the new prose implies otherwise, we will correct it). Except for adjustments to compiler error messages (no mention of core types anymore), no other changes to the compiler or tools are required. Future CLs may selectively relax requirements on a language construct by language construct basis; each such change can be discussed and proposed independently. For #70128.
