Expose java version on swarming bots as a dimension

Project Member Reported by bpastene@chromium.org, Apr 17 2018

Issue description

Some of chromium's bots need java8 for their builds. The java sdk is expected to be installed on the machines prior to build run-time (ie: via puppet). It would be nice if we could expose the java version as dimension and then target that dimension specifically for any swarmbucket builds that have a dependency on it.

Note that CIPD would be a better solution for deployment of the sdk, but no one's working on that or has cycles for it given that the puppet mechanism *works well enough*
 
I try "java -version" here and it outputs an ugly blob not designed to be parsed. Surprisingly it's not XML. You could start by outputting it as a state, and once you figured out all the formats then promote to a dimension.
