      This change changes 'type' to 'class', 'interface' etc. in the following exception text:

      short:
      the field's defining type, pkg.Parent --> the field's defining class, pkg.Parent

      the full message:
      old:

      java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation:
       when resolving field "_field1" of type pkg.Foo,
       the class loader pkg.ClassLoaderForChildGrandFoo @42b2e259 of the current class, pkg.Child,
       and the class loader pkg.ClassLoaderForParentFoo @4b55c90f for the field's defining type, pkg.Parent,
       have different Class objects for type pkg.Foo
       (pkg.Child is in unnamed module of loader pkg.ClassLoaderForChildGrandFoo @42b2e259, parent loader 'app';
        pkg.Parent is in unnamed module of loader pkg.ClassLoaderForParentFoo @4b55c90f, parent loader 'app')

      new:

      java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation:
       when resolving field "_field1" of type pkg.Foo,
       the class loader pkg.ClassLoaderForChildGrandFoo @42b2e259 of the current class, pkg.Child,
       and the class loader pkg.ClassLoaderForParentFoo @4b55c90f for the field's defining class, pkg.Parent,
       have different Class objects for type pkg.Foo
       (pkg.Child is in unnamed module of loader pkg.ClassLoaderForChildGrandFoo @42b2e259, parent loader 'app';
        pkg.Parent is in unnamed module of loader pkg.ClassLoaderForParentFoo @4b55c90f, parent loader 'app')

      I think this makes the text better understandable: 'type' is used where the declared type of _field1
      is meant. 'class' is used whenever we address the "defining type", i.e. whenever the class that 'has' the
      field, is meant.
