Switch to Java 8
This updates the Java version to `1.8` and makes a couple of changes to get
Brooklyn to build again.
For demonstration purposes I've switched a `new Callable ...` in a
[BasicExecutionContext.java](https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/compare/master...geomacy:switch-to-java-8?expand=1#diff-1876d3c7b9d3cc5d485f7469b403e281R216)
to use a Java 8 lambda expression, really just to prove that it is Java 8!
(This was useful as it showed we needed to update the Checkstyle plugin to a
level that works with 8).
I've tested that Brooklyn runs in both classic and Karaf launchers, and can
successfully deploy a basic server couple of apps from Brooklyn Central, (a
three tier app and `brooklyn-etcd`).
There's a matching update to `brooklyn-ui`.
