JDK 21

[mkarg]

The Jakarta EE Platform 11 has a lower bound of JDK 21, so we need to raise bars a bit.

Let's switch to 21 in our 4.0 branch.

FWIW the only spec I'm aware of with a minimum of Java 21 is concurrency. I don't really have a strong preference either way, but just wanted to point it out.

It is my understanding that there *might* be concurrency changes made in jdk-21 that could break old jdk code. But that spec is not yet finalized nor fully implemented in jdk-21. James, do I understand this correctly? I think there are 2 considerations based on the current state of jdk-21. How will this affect Wildfly and 3rd party customers that use the resteasy container separately. As long as resteasy is not using some element unique to jdk-21 that prevents it from being run with jdk-17 or jdk-11 there should be no concern for this change at this time. Once the concurrency changes are finalize and implemented we may need to re-evaluate how to move forward. Currently this seems like a low risk update to me.
