Add further editions of java #72

Description

@hohwille

As an IDEasy user, I want to be able to install the latest Java (JDK) so that I can start using and evaluation the latest LTS.
Currently Java 21 LTS is released.
However, even weeks after the release adoptium/temurin does not yet offer 21 builds for download.
As a result, I can not install Java 21 with IDEasy (or devonfw-ide).
But e.g. Microsoft already provides Java 21 builds of OpenJDK for windows.

Here is an overview of OpenJDK distributions (editions):

So the idea would be to have a quick analysis if some alternative provider should be added as further edition in ide-urls.
If we find something suitable an additional UrlUpdater shall be implemented.
