The latest version of Error Prone now requires Java 11. Upgrading means we can
remove a lot of the maven profile complexity required to run checks with Java 8.
This also requires switching our strict build to use Java 11.
I don't think we really lose much by not checking with Java 8, and it helps us
future-proof as we officially start supporting more recent Java versions.
