Description

Changes in 
https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/12505 added Java version to name in Environment for default Beam SDK container URL. This will break for Java 11 PortableRunner pipelines (x-lang) because actual release of the Java 11 container is added in in https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/13374 and https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/13211 post 2.26.0 cut. 

Fix is to revert commit from https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/12505 or cherrypick https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/13374 and https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/13211 changes (plus possibly https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/13416 to fix test added in these PRs) - probably the easiest thing to do is to revert so everything is added together in 2.27. We will have to notify dev/user to make sure people actualy switch to versioned names (beam_java_sdk vs beam_java8_sdk) with 2.27 instead of 2.26 as planned.
