Java 8 support broken in Slick 3.5.2 #3030

Description

@pjfanning

Scala Steward has created some Slick 3.5.2 PRs for Apache Pekko but the CI builds are failing for our Java 8 runs.

Looking at the code diff for Slick 3.5.2, you appear to have removed all your own Java 8 builds.

Could you update your release notes to warn about the removal of java 8 support?

I guess Pekko can just ignore Slick 3.5.2 and recommend that our users avoid it. We do not have plans to abandon Java 8 support but we may follow suit in the coming months.

The issue appears to be that Slick 3.5.2 requires java.sql.ConnectionBuilder (not in Java 8).
