Java portgroup default fallback?

[Nils Breunese]

The built-from-source openjdk11 and openjdk17 ports have arm64 support. The openjdk8 port doesn’t though. If you want Java 8 on arm64, you can install openjdk8-zulu (Azul Zulu OpenJDK) or openjdk8-corretto (Amazon Corretto).

The assumption appears to be that if a port is using this portgroup, it requires Java, since it errors out in pre-fetch if no Java is found. So it seems like having no fallback by default is just causing builds to fail unnecessarily.
