JDK-8193290 - Add source 12 and target 12 to javac
Description
The javac test

tools/javac/api/T6265137.java

uses a hard-coding -target value. The test could be made robust to JDK version changes, meaning it would not need to be updated on version changes, if it created the target argument based on some other version information, such as Runtime.version() or extracted from the SourceVersion enum.
Comments
Fix request (11u): Request to backport this test update for parity with Oracle. Change didn't apply cleanly, the Java major version changed between JDK11 and 12 which had to be resolved. PR acked by Martin. Test still passes in SAP's nightlies, risk is low since it is a test update.
