This simplifies the life of everyone: the expansion of structural calls, the implementation of `scala.reflect.Selectable`, and the reverse engineering performed by the Scala.js back-end. As a side benefit, the new transformation supports bottom types in the arguments. It was previously limited because we do not allow the generation of `ClassTag`s for `Null` and `Nothing`: they are unsound in arrays, which is what `ClassTag`s are designed for, but on their own they have perfectly valid `Class`'es.
By making them final, the Scala.js back-end can process them not only for `reflectiveSelectable`, but for any custom subclass of `reflect.Selectable`. This removes its main limitation on Scala.js. We add `@inline` to the default implementation in `reflectiveSelectable` (which requires to make it a named class) so that the Scala.js optimizer can completely optimize it away at link time. On the JVM, this change has no effect.
