Update Java 17 references to Java 21

[dillonvargo]

Description of what I changed

Standardizes Java 21 as the minimum required version across the codebase by:

1. Removed the java17 Maven profile from pom.xml — the identical java21 profile already exists, so this is a clean removal with no loss of dependency overrides for Java 21+ builds.
2. Rewrote OpenmrsUtil.validateJavaVersion() — the old regex (1\\.[0-7]\\.(.*)) only rejected pre-Java 9 version strings. The new implementation parses the major version integer and rejects anything below 21.
3. Updated README.md — changed the documented minimum JDK version from 8 to 21.

Things for reviewers to pay attention to

• Version string edge case in validateJavaVersion(): Version strings without a dot but with a suffix (e.g. 21-ea) will fail Integer.parseInt and be rejected due to the majorVersion = 0 fallback. Standard release version strings like 21, 21.0.1, 21.0.2-ea are handled correctly.
• No test updates: If there are existing tests for validateJavaVersion(), they may need updating to reflect the new minimum. No new tests were added for the rewritten parsing logic.
• Breaking for Java 17 builds: Removing the java17 profile means Java 17 builds will no longer get the mockito/bytebuddy version overrides. This is intentional per the requirement to drop Java 17 support.
