JDK-8163121 - Update Commons BCEL to Version 6.0
Description
The update to BCEL 6.0 (JDK-8163121) appears to have caused a regression. The following stacktrace demonstrated what it looked like when it failed in compiling a large stylesheet:

com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.ClassGenException: Not targeting 10980: nop[0](1), but null
	at com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.BranchInstruction.updateTarget(BranchInstruction.java:220)
	at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.util.MethodGenerator.outline(MethodGenerator.java:1748)
	at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.util.MethodGenerator.outlineChunks(MethodGenerator.java:1145)
	at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.util.MethodGenerator.getGeneratedMethods(MethodGenerator.java:1909)

Note there was a BCEL bug report related to the introduction of the hashCode() method:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-195
The bug fix however did not resolve the above issue.
Comments
Fix request (13u): I'd like to downport it, too. Changes to resolve were in javadoc date labels only: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2020-July/003530.html

Fix request (11u) -- will label after testing completed. I would like to downport this for parity with 11.0.9-oracle. I had to do Copyright-like trivial resolves: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2020-July/003523.html
