[Bug 293467] Mk/Uses/java.mk: add support for JAVA_VERSION=default and JAVA_VERSION=latest

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293467

--- Comment #4 from Dmitry Marakasov <amdmi3@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm generally against any logic which relies on which ports are installed -
this makes behavior inconsistent between different port install orders and
between ports and packages, and is still inconsistent to how we handle other
ecosystems (and that we do by pinning exact version of e.g. python).

In fact, while my `JAVA_VERSION=default` equals to
`JAVA_VERSION=${JAVA_DEFAULT}+` to stay closer to status quo where `X+` are
used in most ports, IMO it would make more sense to pin specific version
(`JAVA_VERSION=${JAVA_DEFAULT}`) as long as `JAVA_DEFAULT` is being reliably
kept up to date.

That said, it doesn't look that these patches are conflicting - my patch is
about choosing a version range (effecively limiting it from below), and a patch
from 289858 is about picking a version in that range.
