OK, I thought that we could somehow preserve the oldest CRaC JDK version where the symbol appeared. But we don't need to change the taglet on too many places, so let's use this as is.

It should allow us to continue using @since TBD (or @since CRaC, or whatever) and the test will pretend like the CRaC API has been added in the current version — we won't need to do the symbols updates.

That sounds useful, but we don't need to merge changes out-of-band, this PR is good as it is. Let's integrate this and use the `-ignoreSince` the next time this code needs updating anyway.
