[Nestmates] RFR: 8195826: [Nestmates] Cleanup sun/invoke/util/VerifyAccess.java

[David Holmes]

For the record the code being cleaned up here was incorrect. It doesn't 
allow for the fact that we may encounter older classfile versions, which 
rely on the existing non-nestmate related access check. We need to 
combine the new areNestmates check with the old enclosing-class based 
isSamePackageMember check.

New bug being filed, and new (or modified existing) test to ensure we 
check behaviour with older class files.
