Adding additional java versions to our test matrix and toolchains

* Add 17, 21, 22, 23 to our toolchains list
* Github actions tests on  17, 21, 23 (experimental)
* Set compiler release target to 17 so that libaries built with newer javas still target 17
* Update github actions to use actions v4 instead of deprecated v3 variants
