Add ElementType.TYPE to ActorType

See original GitHub issue

Describe the proposal

Hi, I want to use the actor model with Kotlin. Currently, the ActorType annotation in java is targeted at ElementType.TYPE_USE which is incompatible with kotlin interface. Adding ElementType.TYPE to the annotation target field should work. Can we add it?

@LionTao Could you provide some documentation link in the PR or in this issue that explains why ElementType.Type is needed for Kotlin?

According to Kotlin docs, it seems currently kotlin lacks some native java ElementType enum values.

For my project, rewriting the ActorType annotation class with ElementType.TYPE will let it annotate a kotlin interface. Otherwise, the kotlin compiler throws an error that says This annotation is not applicable to target 'interface'.
