Upgrade to Java 8

Java 8 was released in 2014 and introduces a lot of nice features such as lambdas, streams, and completable futures. By upgrading the Java Stellar SDK to use Java 8 we will be able to take advantage of these features to improve the code quality of the Stellar client.

@tamirms have you seen the quality of Stellar Java SDK. Java 8 will not help. It's just buggy and incomplete. Moreover the Horizon API is poor and suites only for pet projects. You understand if try to work with Offers.
P.S. And almost no attention is paid to Java SDK, issues and pull requests are hanging for weeks if not months.

This will break compatibility with Android. It does not support Java 8.

Thanks! Looks like the support is partial, but this is still helpful.
