Description

Some frameworks require adding annotations to the class. For example if you use classpath scanning in Spring to detect components you need to add the @Component annotation. We should add a TwirlKeys.classAnnotations setting to allow this.

Research direction

Start by locating how TwirlKeys settings are defined and how generated classes receive annotations. Trace the class-generation path and inspect nearby tests for configurable output. Done means a classAnnotations setting can add annotations such as Spring's @Component to generated classes, with coverage for the new behavior.
