RFR (XS) 8076236: VM permits illegal flags for class init method

[David Holmes]

Hi Harold,

Seems like a reasonable fix to become compliant with the spec, but it is 
technically a compatability issue. There may be generated bytecode out 
there from tools that didn't do the right thing with access modifiers 
and it will now be rejected. Possibly okay for 9 but I wouldn't backport 
this.
