use jruby-stdin-channel if possible for an interruptible stdin

[colinsurprenant]

solves to uninterruptible stdin when running on Java 8. if running on Java 8, doing ^C will correctly terminate logstash unlike before where you had to type an extra character to unblock stdin. related to elastic/logstash#1769

I only tested on OSX with Java 7 and 8.

I did not measure any noticeable performance difference using jruby-stdin-channel or not.

@colinsurprenant Can you rebase it off master? The specific stdin channel handling look good but I haven't tested it.

[colinsurprenant]

@ph rebased and bumped version. since specs are rather basic we should either have integration tests for both Java 7 + Java 8 or do manual tests on both JVM.

[ph]

@colinsurprenant I will do a small manual testing for that. This only work on java 8?

We can probably drop the compatibility for java 7 in this PR and only merge it to the master branch? Because we will bail out if the user try to run logstash under java 7 see https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/5242

LGTM

@ph we should keep the normal stdin fallback because the jruby-stdin-channel gem uses a pretty implementation specific way of retrieving the nio channel from stdin and this could fail on future versions or alternate JVMs for example and if it fails we revert back to using the normal stdin...

@colinsurprenant Make sense.
