There are two parts to this bug: 1. Because of the version bump pack200 complains about the class file versions. 2. Because of the complaints the stderr and stdout is not being emptied, the streams IO hangs. The solution is to fix pack200 to recognize the class file version, and change the test to use the test Utility methods.

We need to update pack200 to accept v53.0 class files.
