24926	Update to JavaCC 8	gaben	team	"The parser development is moved to version 8, which was released around 2021.

> Differences between v8 versus v7: very small at the grammar level, more important at the generated sources level:
> 
> - the JavaCC/JJTree grammar part is the same
> - most of JavaCC/JJTree options should be the same, but some may be removed and others appear in v8
> - the Java grammar part should be nearly the same (may be some Java 7 & Java 8 features will appear in v8 and not in v7); in the future Java 11..17..21.. features would appear only in v8)
> - the C++ / C# grammar parts may be somewhat different
> - some generated files are not much different, others are (the token manager is token driven)

I need to test, but probably newer APIs are already available in the generated code."	task	new	normal	Longterm	Core			javacc8	GerdP
