Java: union of arrays produces a compilation failure #5087

Description

@rix0rrr

Describe the bug

The following:

export type X = A[] | B[] | C;

Fails to compile in Java, because type erasure turns this into 2 arrays.

The following does work:

export type X = (A | B)[] | C;

jsii-compiler should reject the former.
