Description

as part or reproducible builds efforts, we're removing manifest entries that are hard to reproduce and do not add much value.
In MSHARED-661, we removed "Built-By: <username>" entry, but decided to keep "Build-Jdk" entry

the idea here is not to remove "Build-Jdk" entry but to replace its value from too much detailed java.version system property (which details the patch level) to java.specification.version: the specification has an impact on the generated bytecode, then is useful to keep, but at least we'll avoid patch level information
