Migration to JakartaEE 8

[bogdandrutu]

Migrate to JakartaEE 8 dependencies which use the same namespace as the JavaEE 8.

• Did you create an Apache Jira ticket? (Request account here, not required for trivial changes)
• If a ticket exists: Does your pull request title follow the pattern "THRIFT-NNNN: describe my issue"?
• Did you squash your changes to a single commit? (not required, but preferred)
• Did you do your best to avoid breaking changes? If one was needed, did you label the Jira ticket with "Breaking-Change"?
• If your change does not involve any code, include [skip ci] anywhere in the commit message to free up build resources.

I don't know enough about Gradle, but it seems like it'd be a good idea to try to use the BOM that JakartaEE provides, for managing the dependency versions.

Maybe something like:

implementation group: 'jakarta.platform', name: 'jakarta.jakartaee-bom', version: '8.0.0'

Unfortunately the 8.0.0 bom has few problems and would like to not spread it in the world. See jakartaee/jakartaee-api#136 and jakartaee/jakartaee-api#49 (not included in the bom). Because of that I would avoid it until an 8.1.0 (or 8.0.1) is released.
