RFR: JDK-8001191: use -source 8 -target 8 when compiling the JDK

[Erik Joelsson]

For the new build, the change is done in jdk/makefiles/Setup.gmk, in the 
macro call for GENERATE_JDKBYTECODE. Would be nice if that change went 
in the same changeset.

This change is only for the jdk repo. Don't we need to change the other 
repos (jaxp, jaxws and corba) as well?
