Initial JDK 11 RFR of JDK-8173382: Add -source 11 and -target 11 to javac - Java Bug System & JDK-8193291: Add SourceVersion.RELEASE_11

Hi Paul,

There is sense in working in including the class file version update at 
the same time if the added complexity doesn't delay the changes.

Did the patch for the increment to 54 require previous changes in the 
bundled ASM?

Thanks,

-Joe
