Update openjdk docker to java 8u151

[sauravgarg]

By when can we expect openjdk docker to be updated to java 8u151?

This has been asked a few times before; see #140 for a semi-recent example.

We consume OpenJDK from the distro packages for several reasons:

openjdk/8-jdk/Dockerfile

Lines 8 to 18 in 7bd5c28

	# A few reasons for installing distribution-provided OpenJDK:
	#
	# 1. Oracle. Licensing prevents us from redistributing the official JDK.
	#
	# 2. Compiling OpenJDK also requires the JDK to be installed, and it gets
	# really hairy.
	#
	# For some sample build times, see Debian's buildd logs:
	# https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=openjdk-8

(Build time and complexity of OpenJDK being the main driver.)

Thus, we're beholden to each distribution (Debian, Alpine, and the ojdkbuild project) for platform updates.

Hello,

Just for information I opened a ticket on alpine bug tracker's for this subject : https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/8018
I hope they will update the package on 3.6 branch (The last time for u144 they just updated the edge).

@tianon given the delay on the alpine side would a 8u151-jdk-alpine-edge tag be acceptable?

I gave it a quick try and seems to work, I can submit the PR

@tianon It looks like Alpine just released 3.7 yesterday! Can this get updated now?
https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.7.0-released.html

Which includes 8u151 http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community/x86_64/

There is now a pull request for the docker alpine update docker-library/official-images#3762

Both Debian and Alpine are currently at 8u151. 👍
