Remove java 8 from spotbugs

Proposal

We should remove out-of-the-box Java 8 support from spotbugs.

Reasoning

By the time of the 15.0 release, we'd be out of the public release period for Java 8, according to the discussion in &7201 (closed). The Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap has later timelines for commercial support, but for those still using Java 8, the pre-compilation strategy is still supported.

Implementation Plan
