Past experience suggests a lot of users will be on Java 8 for quite some
time. I think it makes sense to support this.

Currently TLS.java is only used by the unit tests.

We only need to use reflection on Java 8 since we know ALPN is available
on Java 9 onwards.

The module system adds additional restrictions to calling
setAccessible() that might cause problems in the future.

I wonder if a cleaner solution might be:

- Move isTlsv13Available to TesterSupport and deprecate TLS.java

- Add isAlpnAvailable() to JreCompat where:
  - Java 7 (for 8.5.x) hard codes to false
  - Java 8 uses reflection
  - Java 9 hard codes to true
