RFR: 8347471: Provide valid flags and mask in AccessFlag.Location [v11]

> Some AccessFlag parsing methods throw IAE because a flag mask is not valid in a location. However, there is no easy way to check what flag mask bits or what flags are valid for a location. We need such APIs to check, specific to each class file format version.
> 
> Also in the investigation, it's noted that `ACC_SYNTHETIC` is incorrectly represented - it is available since release 5.0 instead of release 7. This bug is fixed together for implementation simplicity.
> 
> The new methods are all in `AccessFlag.Location`:
> - `Set<AccessFlag> flags()`
> - `int flagsMask()`
> - `Set<AccessFlag> flags(ClassFileFormatVersion)`
> - `int flagsMask(ClassFileFormatVersion)`
> 
> Also there is some simplification to `AccessFlag` itself to remove the anonymous classes, which should be more startup-friendly.
> 
> Testing: Tier 1-3
