Ant buildscript should not check for explicit Ant version numbers

Description

Currently, the ant buildscript checks if the version of Ant that is being used is either 1.6 or 1.7. This causes a problem for people using newer versions. The buildscript should specify a minimum version of Ant, and assume that all future versions will be backwards compatible.

Created a PR for this here: https://github.com/igniterealtime/Openfire/pull/296

Sadly, the same cannot be done (easily) for Java version. I added Java 1.9 to be somewhat future proof for a while.

Note that this commit also raises the minimum version of Ant from 1.6 (released in 2003/2004) to 1.7.1 (released: 2008) (the Ant version check itself was added in 1.7).

We'll likely replace Ant with Maven starting from Openfire 4.x.

So, we will have to release "bandaid" fixes with every new Ant version.

Removing the 'fix version' for all unresolved issues that were scheduled for version 7.8.2. We're releasing this version today - the remaining issues should be rescheduled later.

Committed r11768 as a bandaid to support ant 1.8 . Necessary to get it building on our new build farm, I think. re)
