Title: SI-6411 reflection is now aware of posterasure

The `transformedType` method, which is used to bring Scala types to Java
world, was written in pre-valueclass times. Therefore, this method only
called transforms from erasure, uncurry and refChecks.

Now runtime reflection becomes aware of posterasure and as a consequence
methods, which have value classes in their signatures, can be called
without having to wrap them in catch-a-crash clause.

Another facet to this fix was the realization that value classes need
to be unwrapped, e.g. C(2) needs to be transformed to just 2, when they
are used naked in method signatures (i.e. `c` in `def foo(c: C)` needs
to be unwrapped, whereas `cs: List[C]`, `cs: C*` and even `cs: Array[C]`
do not).
