Bug#873227: Please upgrade to 4.1: Java 9 support

[Tiago Daitx]

Please see the attached debdiff to enable some basic OpenJDK 9 support
for gradle 3.4.1. The patches were downloaded from gradle upstream to
prevent the dreadful "Could not determine java version from '9.0.x'".

After applying the patches and rebuilding with OpenJDK 8, gradle can
then build itself with openjdk 9. I have also rebuild groovy, gant,
spock (FTBFS due to source/target 1.5), and dom4j (FTBFS due to
failing tests) which all previously failed.

Hopefully this should unblock #875336.

Please note that the debdiff includes the fix for #893487 for convenience.

thanks
