As a follow up of #114 we should offer a way to get the component type of an array (compare the Java Reflection API -> arrayClass.getComponentType())
For example a JavaClass representing an array com.some.Foo[] should return com.some.Foo as the component type. Likewise com.some.Foo[][] should return com.some.Foo[] as its component type.
On the contrary to the Reflection API and to be consistent with ArchUnit's API, we should call this method

Optional<JavaClass> tryGetComponentType()

and return Optional.absent() if the respective JavaClass is no array type. Additionally we could offer JavaClass getComponentType() throwing an exception if the JavaClass is no array type for cases where the nature of the JavaClass is already known.

Note: The JavaType within JavaClass already offers a method

Optional<JavaType> tryGetComponentType()

So to implement the feature during class creation the respective JavaType.getName() must be resolved against the matching JavaClass.

…esent. Background is, that if those component types are not referenced in another place (e.g. the two-dim component type is not also a field type somewhere, etc.), we will otherwise create a "simple" class stub here on the fly, and that simple stub will not get processed anymore and thus will not get any component type. In other words, the component type chain would then be broken.
