We still require Java 17 for javac, however we could be fine if user launches Gradle with Java 8 or Java 11. So far no plugins seems to require Java 17, so let's ease the requiremenets Signed-off-by: Vladimir Sitnikov <[email protected]>

Summary
We still require Java 17 for javac, however we could be fine if user launches Gradle with Java 8 or Java 11.
So far no plugins seems to require Java 17, so let's ease the requirements.
It should resolve issues with CodeQL autobuild which assumes we need Java 11: https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-java/actions/runs/13782007549/job/38541785670#step:5:43
An alternative option would be going with manual build, however, I don't have time to investigate it.
