Plugin thinks default target is 1.8, but is 1.6 when compiling for Scala 2.11.12

[tmoschou]

This was a particularly difficult bug to work out.

Running scalac -help for 2.11.12 gives

-target:<target>                Target platform for object files. All JVM 1.5 targets are deprecated. (jvm-1.5,jvm-1.6,jvm-1.7,jvm-1.8) default:jvm-1.6

However scalor is reporting in target/scalor/scala-options-report.txt

...
-target
   description: Target platform for object files. All JVM 1.5 - 1.7 targets are deprecated. Choices: (jvm-1.5,jvm-1.6,jvm-1.7,jvm-1.8), default: jvm-1.8.
   syntax format: -target:<target>
   effective value: jvm-1.8

I have also tried manually specifying zincOptionsScala to no luck. (scalar reports default is 1.8)

The documentation says that scalor will remove the options in zincOptionsScala when it thinks it is the default, hence why explicitly targeting 1.8 is not working.
