@jburwell Thanks, I'll split the changes into separate PR if everyone
demands that. Otherwise each distinct pieces are implemented as separate
commits that can be reviewed per commit basis as well. Since, this is long term
I'm hoping no testing/merge activity until at least 4.9.0 releases.
While some of the tasks don't require Java8 upgrade, I started working on
this for the sole purpose of moving to Java8 because as a developer I want to
start using Java8 specific features in CloudStack and that Java7 has reached
EOL. I've also listed among these pieces, certain other long term goals around
systemvmtemplates, systemd/packaging and reducing distro specific dependencies.
