When prototyping adding a new public API type, that is a record class, to the JDK it is clear that the symbolgenerator CreateSymbols does not expect or handle the record attribute.

This is most evident from the failure of test/langtools/tools/javac/platform/CanHandleClassFilesTest.java

Additionally, javac generates a MethodParameters for the canonical constructor of a record class. This also trips up the symbol generator. The MethodParameters should likely just be ignored/skipped.
