Upgrade to ASM 6.0 [SPR-14514]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-14514 and commented

For Spring Framework 5.0 milestones, we keep using our variant of ASM 5.1, leniently accepting the 1.9 bytecode level but not having actual support for it. Once ASM 6.0 matures beyond its current alpha, we should upgrade our fork to it.

Our ASM fork is now up to date with the latest state in the ASM 6 branch:

Even if our previous ASM 5.2 fork was perfectly JDK 9 compatible for our purposes already, this ASM 6.0 upgrade prepares us (and the wider Spring ecosystem) for more specific JDK 9 support, potentially evaluating module-info files etc.

There have been no modifications to the ASM 6 branch anymore, and it got promoted to ASM 6.0 GA now.
