If we encounter nestmate attributes in a classfile with a version that

I think we need to ignore them for down-rev class files.
That's what we do currently do for attributes like annotations
or generic signatures or bootstrap specifiers.
Thanks John. I went looking for existing examples but for some reason my
brain kept reading the JAVA_1_5_VERSION check as if it were JAVA_1_2.
TGIF. :)
