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

[Kumar Srinivasan]

Hi David, Kelly, Erik,

as Kelly stated the jdk only build, uses the compiler from the
import JDK, this works with -source 8 -target, which was prepped
by Joe earlier.  I also checked with a jdk only jprt build submission,
which exposed another location that needed a bump.

I have fixed the new infra build as well as Erik suggested,  here is the new
webrev:

The delta webrev ie. changes since the last reviewed:

Thanks
Kumar
