It acts as a workaround for the case when build tools or dependencies
are compiled with latest 'kotlin-stdlib' version, but at a runtime older
'kotlin-stdlib' is provided, which does not know about new
`EnumEntries`.
^KT-57317 Fixed
This is required to be able to compile KGP and it's dependencies which
set LV to 1.4 when repo will use LV 1.9. This caused by the change how
enums are compiled (KT-48872).
But still compile stdlib, reflect, kotlin.test and scripting runtimes
with JVM target 1.6 to simplify migration from Kotlin 1.6 to 1.7.
#KT-45165 Fixed
There seems to be no point in configuring the compiler argument per
project. This argument will be deleted soon anyway, when we remove
support for JDK 1.6 & 1.7.
Also remove `disableDeprecatedJvmTargetWarning`. It didn't have any
effect in all modules where it was applied because these modules
reassign `freeCompilerArgs` anyway, with
`-Xsuppress-deprecated-jvm-target-warning` in it.
