Upgrade Java 17/8 references to Java 21

[dillonvargo]

Description of what I changed

Updated all outdated Java version references to reflect that Java 21 is now the minimum required version:

• README.md: Changed minimum JDK requirement from Java 8 to Java 21.
• pom.xml: Removed the java17 Maven profile. An identical java21 profile already exists with the same mockito-core and byte-buddy dependency overrides, making the java17 profile redundant.
• OpenmrsUtil.java: Rewrote validateJavaVersion() to check for Java 21+ instead of Java 8+. The old regex (1\\.[0-7]\\.(.*)) only caught legacy version strings (Java 7 and below) and wouldn't have rejected Java 8–20 under modern version formats. The new implementation parses the major version number from both legacy 1.x.y and modern X.Y.Z version strings.

Things for reviewers to verify

• Version parsing edge cases: The new validateJavaVersion() would reject early-access JDK builds (e.g., "21-ea") because Integer.parseInt("21-ea") falls into the NumberFormatException catch, setting majorVersion = 0. Determine if this is acceptable or if the hyphen should be stripped before parsing.
• No tests were added for the rewritten validateJavaVersion() logic. Consider whether the existing test suite covers this or if new tests are needed.
• java17 profile removal: Confirm that the project no longer needs to support building with JDK 17 before merging.
