Prepare for Java 8 support dropping from modern JDKs (#950)

Modern JDKs print a warning that Java 8 support is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. To prevent that warning being displayed, we add an additional `javac` flag when compiling the code which targets Java 8. The long-term solution is to only target Java 11+, which I suggest we do after Java 21 ships in Septembe after 2023.
