This change adds D8 in addition to Dx which is being deprecated.
At some point after the official Dx deprecation, we should remove
the Dx checker.
Moving to D8 has the additional benefit that D8 can dex code
using java 8 features without using a separate desugaring tool.
Using the new multi-release jar feature, store compiled
module-info.class files into META-INF/versions/9 instead of the artifact
root. Hopefully, this will break fewer tools which do not support
module-info.class files because any sane tool should not do anything
with files in META-INF because before Java 9 that directory only
contained resources.
Upgrade some Maven plugins to newer versions which do not fail on
module-info.class files
