    [KYUUBI #7289] Release requires Java 17 or 21
    
    ### Why are the changes needed?
    
    I hit an issue while preparing 1.11.0 RC0, which indicates I need to use a 
higher version of JDK for releasing.
    
    ```
    [INFO] --- antlr4:4.13.1:antlr4 (default)  kyuubi-extension-spark-4-0_2.13 
---
    [WARNING] Error injecting: org.antlr.mojo.antlr4.Antlr4Mojo
    java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/antlr/v4/Tool has been compiled 
by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this 
version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1 (Native Method)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass (ClassLoader.java:756)
        at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass 
(SecureClassLoader.java:142)
    ```
    
    In https://github.com/apache/kyuubi/pull/7144, we made it always use 
`-release:8` for `jdk9+`, so we still produce Java 8 compatible bytecode even 
using JDK 17, for all modules except Spark 4.0/4.1 extension modules.
    
    ### How was this patch tested?
    
    Will verify this in the next RC of 1.11.0
    
    ### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
    
    No.
    
    Closes #7289 from pan3793/release-java17.
    
    Closes #7289
