Prefer java language level to Java 11 per default

The default commands, bazel {build,test,...} use a remote Java 11
toolchain by default. The output generated is a major=55 bytecode
that won't run on Java 8.

Java 8 support is deprecated, but not removed, so that Java 8 language
level can still be produced by the build tool chain:

  $ bazel build \
      --java_toolchain=//tools:error_prone_warnings_toolchain \
      release

Until some Gerrit stakeholders are not ready to migrate to Java 11
language level, the validations can still happen using the Java 8.
