Modified Java 1.5 Buffers patch 2b7d1b1d25cb2cd73311ec9159b465f0391bf5e0 - May break GCJ/ECJ .. needs to be revised.

- Adding JAVA_6 in PlatformPropsImpl
- Buffers.isDirect() chooses fast-path iff JAVA_6, otherwise using reflection (GCJ/ECJ)
- Adding JAVA_6 info in VersionUtil
- API doc: Refine JAVA_SE and JAVA_6 spec.

TODO: In case GCJ etc is unable to compile the JAVA_6 code
      even though it uses a static condition (probably not),
      We have to wrap isStatic in an own class, one for JAVA_6 and one for <= 1.5.
      This will be a good exercise for further issues we may have w/ Java <= 1.5.
