Rename arraysAreRelevant to arrayTypesAreRelevant

[mernst]

GenericAnnotatedTypeFactory.arraysAreRelevant is about array types, so rename it to arrayTypesAreRelevant and add a public accessor. Its documentation described when isRelevantImpl happens to consult it; document its value directly instead.

Also document what an override of isRelevantImpl must handle: the implementation in GenericAnnotatedTypeFactory returns true immediately for the types in relevantJavaTypes, and for every type when relevantJavaTypes == null, so an override must handle those cases itself or call super.

The renamed field is protected, so this is a source-incompatible change for a type system outside this repository; the changelog records it. No type system in this repository referred to the old name.
