Plugin archetype and tutorial do Java 7 and Java 8 but not Java 11

Change By:	Mark Waite

The Jenkins.io "[Create a plugin|https://jenkins.io/doc/developer/tutorial/create/]" tutorial uses the maven archetype to generate the "HelloWorld" plugin.  The resulting plugin won't compile with Java 11 because it is configured with {{java.version=7}}, {{jenkins.version=2.7.3}} and {{parent pom=3.4}}.
  Since Jenkins officially support Java 8 and Java 11, the archetype should be updated to support Java 8 and Java 11 compilation.

It should be configured with {{java.version=8}}, {{jenkins.version=2.164.1}} and {{parent pom=3.43}} so that the resulting plugin can be compiled with either Java 8 or Java 11.

The example page also shows the wrong set of choices available when generating the archetype.

The tutorial should also be updated to refer to {{spotbugs}} rather than {{findbugs}}.  The project has switched static analysis to {{spotbugs}}.

The preceding tutorial, "[Preparing for Plugin Development|https://jenkins.io/doc/developer/tutorial/prepare/]" should use the Java 8 download from the AdoptOpenJDK project rather than using the Oracle JDK. Oracle JDK 8 is no longer free for commercial use, while AdoptOpenJDK is free for commercial use.
