[jedit:bugs] #4118 BeanShell error: module java.base does not "opens java.lang" to unnamed module

Actually, we might be more lucky than we should be. :-D
You can easily reproduce with this snippet:
```
class Foo { }
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("test");
```

The good thing is, I felt brave and just commented out the `Capabilities.setAccessibility( true );` call.
And what should I say, it worked. :-)
So maybe that comment is not up-to-date anymore actually.

I wouldn't do this change now shortly before the 5.7.0 release,
but after that, we can maybe just do it and see how it works out. :-)

I see the following BeanShell error when running a macro that appends to a StringBuilder:

```text

StringBuilderTest.bsh:

```java
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder():
sb.append("test");
```

I'm using jEdit 5.6.0, java version 17.0.2 on Windows 10 Enterprise.
