Kubernetes 1.8 support is void officially after the release of 1.11. So it makes sense for us to remove the support for that.
This issue https://github.com/habitat-sh/habitat-operator/issues/341 should have done both, which is add support for 1.11 and remove support of 1.8, but since GKE is causing some problems with provisioning of 1.11 cluster, we can just drop support of 1.8 here.

And also once the support for 1.8 is dropped it paves the way for the issue https://github.com/habitat-sh/habitat-operator/issues/342 that is blocked because we still support 1.8.
