OpenJDK 7, 7u, 7u6, 8, lambda and jigsaw with new build infra

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Henri,

The build-infra project is only targeting jdk8 for now. When the project 
started, there were no jdk8 repositories to base it on, so it was 
started on jdk7-based repositories. Since jdk8 was started, the 
build-infra/jdk7 forest is abandoned and shouldn't be used.

The jdk8 master is buildable with the new build system, at least on 
linux, but it's not yet fully supported. We do not yet guarantee that 
the new build system will produce the same result as the old. I believe 
the same thing is true for lambda. Jigsaw is not compatible with the new 
build system yet.
