"Drop hard-coded entry for openjdk-8

In theory this entry was added for 'bootstrapping', but we have definitely
not needed openjdk-8 for bootstrapping newer openjdks for a long time.
Leave this in place for releases older than noble so we can continue to
provide security support for it as needed, but make sure we don't wrongly
carry it forward."

openjdk versions had been hard-coded for i386 in a python script instead
of going through the standard process for seeding of packages.   This
had several consequences, including the fact that dependencies were not
automatically resolved by germinate.  As part of the discussions around
jdk test dependencies in Ubuntu 24.04, I started to look at cleaning up
this hard-coding and was told that our previous reasons for needing
openjdk-8 i386 binaries no longer applied.

It is possible to restore this in 24.04 but someone would need to
present a use case for it.
