Jira (PDB-4687) Deprecate Java 8 for puppetdb in Platform 7

Issue Type:	Story
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	2020/04/22 7:55 AM
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Nick Walker

We currently support java 8 and java 11. As time proceeds forward we will support the next LTS version of java and when that happens we may choose to drop support for java 8.

In the meantime we should deprecate java 8 in platform 7 so users know we can drop it if/when it becomes too costly in CI or due to maintenance.

We don't need to change anything other than documenting the deprecation and maybe emitting a warning in the logs about it.
