Title: Add java8 to the list of known Java versions

It is not currently possible to set source version to 1.8 with the Java plugin (you would get an index-out-of-bounds exception).

With the initial [OpenJDK 8 Project Lambda preview release](http://jdk8.java.net/lambda/), it would be nice to be able to experiment with OpenJDK 8 using Gradle. As such, I decided to go ahead and add 1.8 to the list of known versions.
