Binaries are invalid when compiled on Java 11 and run on Java 8

BUG REPORT

Describe the bug

The current Bookkeeper maven build will produce invalid binaries for Java 8 when compiled on Java 11.

Here's an example of the problem:

2024-02-07T15:33:44,901 - ERROR - [BookieJournal-3181:BookieCriticalThread@41] - Uncaught exception in thread BookieJournal-3181 and is exiting!

To Reproduce

1. Compile binaries on Java 11.
2. Run bookkeeper on Java 8.

Expected behavior

The binaries should be Java 8 compatible as long as we provide the support.

Additional context

Similar problem was solved in Pulsar by properly using maven.compiler.release setting.

I'm handling this in #4197 since this is required for fixing CI.
