AccessibleObject.checkCanSetAccessible also needs update as it special 
case the Constructor case of a inline class which is no longer needed.  
It will follow normal access check rule.

For the test, constructors take the expected toString names.   I suggest 
to create a local inline class to have the expected constructors.  Also 
move ctor.setAccessible and ctor.trySetAccessible to use this new inline 
class as these test cases are specific to static init factories.  Maybe 
time to have a separate test file for static init factories rather than 
extending the existing test.
