sun.misc.Version is the core libraries part of a private interface with the

during the build ).
It is not a "Critical API", as defined by JEP 260, so should be moved
out of sun.misc and placed into a more appropriate package where it
can be encapsulated.
Version is only used by j.l.System during initialization, so I’ve taken the
liberty of moving it into java.lang as package-private. It could, however,
be placed in jdk.internal.misc, if it is more generally useful. That said,
most other usages should be able to use the JDK specific Version API.

This looks okay although I expect we will need to change VersionTest
again soon to not use @run main/bootclasspath.
