ports/java/jflex: 1.4.2 -> 1.8.1

Hello!

This port hasn't received any love in a long time (over a decade), and has been
marked broken/unfetchable.  In fact, JFlex is alive, well, and has had a few
version bumps in the intervening years.

To build JFlex requires either Maven or Bazel and, looking at a few other ports
that use Maven, it looks like it's an exceptional pain to maintain.  Given
other java/* ports install upstream .jar files, there's precedent for us to do
the same, and this patch does that.

So, attached: a patch (Git-flavoured; sorry) that brings this port up-to-date,
and simplifies the Makefile dramatically.

(Disclosure: I work for/with the original author of JFlex, Gerwin Klein.)
