8303 has been released and looking at http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/Pythia.html

With 8.302 the code should be sufficiently well tested to offer a fully functional upgrade from the 8.2 series, and starting with 8.303 new physics features are being introduced that should make 8.3 the natural choice.

So it seems, we can remove the preferred=True from version 8244. Would you agree? If so, I would augment this PR accordingly.

@ChristianTackeGSI agreed, that's a good idea. It seems in the lcg releases the default is still 244 (as of 98), but I think they'll follow suit.

I also support moving to 8303

* Add version 8303
* Until now, the latest 82xx release was the `preferred` version.
  We agreed to let the latest version be the preferred one now.

Thanks for your feedback!

Two of three are good enough for me to switch the default version for spack install pythia8 from 8244 to "the latest".
