Fix Oracle JDK8 PPA installation on Debian due to u151 expiration.

Issue description

As of 16/02/2018 Oracle JDK8 PPA for Debian/Ubuntu uses 8u151, which just expired that same date; due to unavailability of download sources, the installation of package "oracle-java8-installer" fails with 404 error.

Solution usage

If you have not, install Oracle JDK 8 from the installer script "deb_install_oraclejdk8.bash".

# ./deb_install_oraclejdk8.bash

If this works straight, it means the PPA got an update and the issue is no longer existent; if not you will encounter a 404 error.

To fix it, use the complementary script "deb_fix_ppa_oraclejdk8.bash".

# ./deb_fix_ppa_oraclejdk8.bash

This should leave you with Oracle JDK 8 installed and set by default.
