Use Java major version for manifest's Created-by

No need of detailed version such java.vm.version. Java's jar command
uses java.version when it fills the manifest's "Created-by" field,
let's make ant do the same.

Using a detailed version makes that every Java release triggers a
new publication for ant-based applications, only because a line in
manifest has changed - not because the binary or dependencies have
changed. Using a less detailed version reduces these publications.

Using a less detailed version also prevents more subtle problems
such as in boo#1110024: noarch packages differ depending on the
builder architecture, when Java vm version contains an architecture
information (which is the case for openSUSE, though it's probably
not relevant).
