core: Rewrite class signature to avoid internal class

Leaving the class as-is causes javac to compile two versions of each
method, one returning the public class (e.g. ServerBuilder) and one
returning the internal class (e.g., AbstractServerImplBuilder). However,
the signature is used at compile time to avoid new compilations from
referencing the internal-returning methods.
