 This method extends the functionality of
 AnnotatedElement.getAnnotationsByType(Class)
 with additional support for meta-annotations.
 
In addition, if the element is a class and the repeatable annotation
 is @Inherited, this method will search on superclasses
 first in order to support top-down semantics. The result is that this
 algorithm finds repeatable annotations that would be shadowed
 and therefore not visible according to Java's standard semantics for
 inherited, repeatable annotations, but most developers will naturally
 assume that all repeatable annotations in JUnit are discovered regardless
 of whether they are declared stand-alone, in a container, or as a
 meta-annotation (e.g., multiple declarations of @ExtendWith
 within a test class hierarchy).
 
If the supplied element is null, this method simply
 returns an empty list.
