Currently every PR commit triggers both JDK8 and JDK11 versions of each test 
job.  I propose that we can eliminate the JDK8 version of each check.  In the 
extremely rare case where a code change breaks on Java 8 but works fine on Java 
11, it would still be caught by the main pipeline (just as Windows failures are 
caught only in the main pipeline).

The only tangible effect today of running both JDK8 and JDK11 tests in PR 
pipeline is twice the chance to encounter possible flaky failures (usually 
unrelated to the commit itself).
