Java 11+ support

[alanorth]

I can't find any mention of the Java version supported on the README. I recall a few years ago that this project was Java 8 only. Is that still that case? Thanks!

+1. I started using this lib recently and it only works with Java 8. Would be really nice to have Java 11/17 support. I see a lot of libraries nowadays starting demanding for Java 11+ making it impossible to have them with JVips in the same project.

Or at least let us know what holds this lib to be available for more modern java runtimes, please

@agolovenko could you provide more detail about the issues you're having on Java 11 or 17? We are using the library, or a slightly customised version, on Java 11 in production.

@karlvr I recently tried it with java 11 and 17, and all worked fine. My apologies
