New method Field::getTypeName()

In preparation for the upcoming change of lang.reflect.Field::getType(), due to fix its inconsistency with other parts of the reflection API, we have added a forward-compatible lang.reflect.Field::getTypeName() method that you can start migrating your code to so it will work in both XP Framework versions.

For an example of what needs to be changed, see this pull request to the XP compiler.
