location of -source / -target in new build infrastructure

[Fredrik Öhrström]

Yes, a leftover exist in Setup.gmk thanks for spotting that David!

the -source 7 -target 7 should be replaced with $(BOOT_JDK_SOURCETARGET)
which is setup by configure and stored in the spec.gmk file.

That flag is only be used for compiling code that has to be
run by the boot jdk. The particular setup that uses -source 7 -target 7
in Setup.gmk is called GENERATE_OLDBYTECODE, which seems correct.

However for all new bytecode, the remaining setups seems to lack both
-source and -target, which is the intent, since I assumed that it would automatically
build for jdk8 then?
