#BAEL-16646 Split Java dates articles regarding Java 8. Also moved [Set the Time Zone of a Date in Java](https://www.baeldung.com/java-set-date-time-zone) from core-java-8 to the new java-dates-java8 module (the code was already in java-dates) and moved some missing files for the article Extracting... to java-dates-computations.

java-dates now contains only two classes, which are relevant to the previous PR which will be shortly updated. One seems related to java-dates-string but it's unclear which article it belongs to and needs to be investigated.
