Upgrade JNA used for SBT Zinc

[msogrin]

Gradle build on Macosx Monterey fails on compileScala task when executed from Intellij IDEA with error

Unable to load library 'c': Native library (darwin/libc.dylib) not found in resource path

The error doesn't happen when build is started from Terminal.
The error happens only for some team members, and other people with seemingly identical setup have no issues.

The error is similar to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-244962. And the workaround suggested there helped: upgrade JNA to at least 5.6.

I upgraded to 5.11.0 using

dependencies {
    constraints {
        zinc("net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.11.0")
        zinc("net.java.dev.jna:jna-platform:5.11.0")
    }
}

and it helped to eliminate the error when executed from IDEA. No ill effects were observed yet but the testing wasn't extensive.

It would be better if Gradle distribution used a newer version of JNA by default without need for workaround in user build scripts.

What happens if you would upgrade the zinc version?

I'll test when #19864 gets into a RC/released version.

Tested with 7.5-rc1, the issue is resolved: Zinc 1.6.1 uses JNA 5.8.0, which is higher than required 5.6.

Correction: the problem is fixed not because a newer JNA is used. Instead, org.scala-sbt:io >= 1.4.0 doesn't even use JNA (for millisecond time), but uses Java time with Java 10+.
