Support auto-download of Java toolchains for more vendors than just AdoptOpenJDK

[sschuberth]

Expected Behavior

Ideally, the auto-download feature for Java toolchains should work for any toolchain that can be auto-detected. As I acknowledge it's quite some work to support all platforms, at least more (commonly used) vendors than just AdoptOpenJDK should be supposed, esp. GraalVM.

Current Behavior

Auto-download of Java toolchains only works for the AdoptOpenJDK vendor.

Context

I was assuming I could leverage the toolchain support to bootstrap everything (JDK, Gradle, etc.) needed for a build to work on a freshly installed machine. But that's not the case for a project requiring GraalVM.

Also see my somewhat related issue #15535 (which already has PR #16595 pending).

I need the same, i.e. making Gradle download a Zulu build of the OpenJDK, but with a corporate mirror URL configured.
