[ANNOUNCE] SkyWalking ends the supports of JDK 6/7

Hi everyone,

Based on the community vote, SkyWalking community decided
6.6 will be the last feature related release supporting JDK6. The details
are the following.

1. SkyWalking 7.x(will start after 6.6.0 release) will work on JDK8+,
including the agent
2. SkyWalking 6.x will switch to maintain mode only, provides bug fix as
minimal workload
3. SkYWalking 7.x will provide compatible with 6.x agent if 6.7+ releases
are required. Unless gRPC issue makes it impossible.
