Adjust the fix for scala#9685 to increase source compatibility.

We apply the full fix under `-source future` only, and a partial fix otherwise.

This is a followup of scala#17924 that fixes the source incompatibilities reported in scala#18123.

We test that the behavior under `-source future` still fixes scala#9685, and that without `-source future` we fix both scala#9685 and scala#18123.
