Nice cleanup! I'm just not really sure about the new subtype relationship (see
inline comment)

Is there really that much benefit in lazily computing the descriptor?
`ReferenceClassDescImpl` doesn't do this either... Maybe we can keep things
simple and initialize the descriptor in the constructor?

Looking at the implementation of `arrayType`, it reflectively creates an array
and then returns its class. Just makes me think we need a better we to look up
an array class directly in the JDK :D

Is it safe to make this change? Are instances of `PrimitveClassDescImpl`
canonicalized now? (not in this patch, but it looks that way in the source
code).
src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/constant/ReferenceClassDescImpl.java

I think arrays should be handled separately by the caller, or
`ArrayClassDescImpl` should be made a sub-type of `ReferenceClassDescImpl`.
This factory in `ReferenceClassDescImpl` handling a sibling seems a bit
confusing.
