profiles: Mask icedtea-bin:7 on arm, at least for now

The ARM32 JIT code is broken as of 7.2.6.6. Without this, Java 7 is no
faster than Java 8. Earlier versions have vulnerabilities so either
switch to icedtea-bin:8 or build icedtea:7 from source.

 # This is built for armv7a so unmask against the wider arm mask.
