Add support for Hadoop corresponding to AWS EMR 7.8.x

OCLC have many critical business use cases around Hadoop and run an open-source flavor of it. They are currently running components corresponding to Cloudera CDP 7.1.7 but are planning to move to components corresponding to AWS EMR 7.8.0 and are asking for StreamSets to add official support for this EMR version to make it a smoother transition for them.

OCLC's timelines for this migration are pre-production in mid-Q4 2025 and production in early Q1 2026.
