1. java: Update version from 8u141 to 9.0.1 …

   Java 9 was released in September 2017. It supports HiDPI displays [1].
   Most changes are detaled in the *Java Platform, Standard Edition Oracle
   JDK 9 Migration Guide* [2].
   
   Switch to the new version scheme.
   
   > ### New Version-String Scheme ###
   >
   > JDK 9 provides a new simplified version-string format. If your code
   > relies on the version-string format to distinguish major, minor,
   > security, and patch update releases, then you may need to update it.
   >
   > The format of the new version-string is:
   >
   > $MAJOR.$MINOR.$SECURITY.$PATCH
   >
   > For example, under the old scheme, the Java 9u5 security release would
   > have the version string 1.9.0_5-b20.
   >
   > Under the new scheme, the short version of the same release is 9.0.1,
   > and the long version is 9.0.1+20.
   >
   > This change affects java -version and related system properties, such
   > as java.runtime.version, java.vm.version, java.specification.version,
   > and java.vm.specification.version.
   >
   > A simple Java API to parse, validate, and compare version strings has
   > been added. See java.lang.Runtime.Version.
   >
   > See Version String Format in Java Platform, Standard Edition
   > Installation Guide, and JEP 223: New Version-String Scheme.
   
   Additionally, JCE Jurisdiction Policy File default is now unlimited,
   meaning the installation can be removed from the bee file.
   
   > ### JCE Jurisdiction Policy File Default is Unlimited ###
   >
   > If your application previously required the Java Cryptography
   > Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files, then you
   > no longer need to download or install them. They are included in the
   > JDK and are activated by default.
   >
   > If your country or usage requires a more restrictive policy, the
   > limited Java cryptographic policy files are still available.
   >
   > If you have requirements that are not met by either of the policy
   > files provided by default, then you can customize these policy files
   > to meet your needs.
   >
   > See the `crypto.policy` Security property in the
   > `<java-home>/conf/security/java.security` file, or Cryptographic
   > Strength Configuration in the Java Platform, Standard Edition Security
   > Developer's Guide.
   >
   > You are advised to consult your export/import control counsel or
   > attorney to determine the exact requirements.
