Description

Since Java9 MagicAccessorImpl moved to a different package and does no longer fulfill the same role as before. While our code does not depend on that class to exist, it is also used almost solely for callsite caching code generation, which is no longer the default. Therefore removing the usage of class seems to be a good option at least for Groovy 5
