AGP 9 defaults compileOptions to Java 11. The published Android libraries now emit Java 11 bytecode for both Java and Kotlin instead of Java 8. The JVM modules, sentry included, keep publishing Java 8 bytecode so that Java 8 backends can still use them. Fixes JAVA-660 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Extend the Java 11 target to the JVM modules, so every published module now emits Java 11 bytecode and the SDK no longer runs on Java 8. Modules that already targeted Java 17 are unchanged. The samples that pinned Java 8 move to Java 11 with the SDK. Refs JAVA-660 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

With Java 11 as the minimum, the Java 8 signature only blocked APIs the SDK may now use. javac's release flag and Kotlin's -Xjdk-release already limit main code to the Java 11 API, so the JVM-only modules no longer apply animal sniffer. The modules that Android apps also use keep checking against the Android API 21 signature. Refs JAVA-660 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📜 Description
This raises the min java needed to 11. (was 8 before). Java 8 is deprecated so its time to stop supporting it.
We also remove the java 8 api signature check and the animalsniffer from jvm only modules.
💡 Motivation and Context
v9 is a major release, so it's where we raise the minimum Java version from 8 to 11.
💚 How did you test it?
Tests pass
