      Some access flags apply only to class files with a range of class file versions.
      The java.lang.AccessFlag class should return the AccessFlag corresponding to the actual access flags that appear in the class file and depending on the class file version.

      The AccessFlag.maskToAccessFlags(mask, location) maps the mask to the set of AccessFlags based on the current classfile version number.

      For class files with older class file format version numbers the mapping should include the version number specifi.

      For example, the access flag SYNTHETIC was introduced in class file format version 50 and its locations were updated in version 51.

      The modifier bit ACC_SYNTHETIC (0x1000) is not defined before class file format version 50.
