Bug#892810: RFS: zeroc-ice/3.7.0-1 -- New Ice 3.7.0 release

Hi,

I have fixed the package to depend on JDK 8 and use it for the build,

there is already a bug to upgrade gradle for JDK 9 support [1]

I have also fixed a few other warnings that show up with lintian and have

to reimort the upstream source to exclude some non DFSG files

Hi Adam,

The problem is your build is picking JDK 9 that is not supported by gradle 3.x included in SID this requires at least gradle 4.2.1 [1].
I guess I should update the package to depend in JDK 8 and ensure this is used until gradle 4.2.1 is available

Alas, it fails to build for me:
Could not determine java version from '9.0.4'.

Full build log attached.

Meow!
