Switch to Java 17

Uses the new Java toolchain feature of Gradle to acquire Java 17.

Doing it this way means that you can start ./gradlew under any version
of Java and still use Java 17 for the build; it picks a candidate from
the environment or downloads one if required. It also takes care of
source and target compatibility, with the exception of ide.gradle
which is handled separately.
