Drop Java 7 support? (re-open ZEPPELIN-621?)

Hi all

Right now Zeppelin is compiled for Java 7 as minimal version.
But it already EOL for a long time, so it makes sense to stop supporting it.

There are several reasons for it:

   - Spark 2.2.0 that is used by Zeppelin (at least in master) supports
   only Java 8+
   - Switch to Java 8 will allow to write more clear code for Java part of
   the Zeppelin code.

This switch was already discussed as
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-621, but it was more than 2
years ago.

What do you think?
