profiles: Mask Java 7

Java 7 is old and we are no longer able to support it. The ability to
build against Java 7 may return when we update the eclasses for Java 9
but the runtime will not return. If you need it then source ebuilds
will continue to be maintained by gnu_andrew in java-overlay for a few
years. Removal in 30 days.

 # Upstream dead, bundles a vulnerable mupdf, nothing depends on it,
