This patch forces rake-compiler to emit bytecode for Java 8 level of JVM. rake-compiler currently defaults to Java 1.7 source and target, but that version is no longer supported by recent JDKs such as Java 21 (see rake-compiler/rake-compiler#242 for a patch to update rake-compiler).
This patch sets our minimum Java level to 8, bypassing the default in rake-compiler and allowing builds on Java 21+.
