SI-8118 simplifies Annotation down to a plain Tree

As per https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scala-internals/8v2UL-LR9yY,
annotations don’t have to be represented as AnnotationInfos and can be
reduced to plain Trees.

Due to compatibility reasons and because of the limitations of the cake
pattern used in implementing current version of Reflection, we can’t
just say `type Annotation = Tree`, however what we can definitely do is
to deprecate all the methods on Annotation and expose `tree: Tree` instead.
