> Removes 6 `AccessFlags` factories that do not take class-file versions as its > arguments. > > `AccessFlags` is a wrapper around a bit mask to support modifier streaming in > ClassFile API. It additionally supports advanced validation based on location. > > However, as class file versions evolve, we may also need a class file version > argument to ensure that the flags are correctly constructed. For example, a > pre-valhalla class modifier without `ACC_SUPER` should not be interpreted as > a value class.

In contrast, these builder APIs can fetch the > previously-passed class file versions, and correctly validate or interpret > these flags.

If there's need, we can always add a new > `AccessFlags.of(int, AccessFlag.Location, ClassFileFormatVersion)` factory, > given the flexibility from this removal.
