patch to java/index.xml

(NB: this patch has separately been submitted to the FreeBSD Foundation for
their review.)

When the Foundation's website was recently updated, the obsolete Java bits were
apparently not carried over.  These JDK/JRE components were for an earlier
version of Java, in which the Foundation sponsored a verificiation process by
Sun Microsystems (later Oracle).  Recent evolution in the open source Java
space has rendered the need to go through this expensive and tedious process
obsolete.

Rather than try to coordinate reinstating these obsolete bits, the following
patch removes the link and notes the historical nature of the effort.
