Bump Gradle from 6.8.3 to 8.10.2 and increase the minimum required
Java version from 8 to 11 (SMACK-953).
The switch from Java 8 to 11 caused some Bytecode portability issues
regarding NIO Buffers. Java changed with version 9 the return type of
some subclasses of Buffer to return the specific Buffer type instead
of the Buffer superclass [JDK-4774077]. For example, ByteBuffer.filp()
previously returned Buffer, while it does return ByteBuffer now.
This sensible change was not reflected by the Android API [1], which
means that AnimalSniffer rightfully started to complain that there is
no method "ByteBuffer ByteBuffer.flip()" in Android, there is only
"Buffer ByteBuffer.flip()", and those are incompatible methods on
Java's Bytecode layer.
As workaround, this changes
return charBuffer.flip().toString();
to
((java.nio.Buffer) charBuffer).flip();
return charBuffer.toString();
to restore the Bytecode portability between Android and Java.
Errorprone also got new checks, of which JavaUtilDate and JdkObsolete
are wroth mentioning.
JavaUtilData basically strongly recommends to use Java's newer time
API over java.util.Date. But since Smack was Java 8 until now,
j.u.Date is widely used.
Similar JdkObsolete mentions obsolete JDK APIs, like data structures
like Vector and Stack. But mostly LinkedList, which should usually be
replaced by ArrayList. And this is what this commit largely does.

Prior to this fix, Smack requires the 'open' element send on a websocket connection to be collapsed. With the change in
this commit, an expanded (eg: `<open ...></open>`) element can also be used.
fixes SMACK-935
When enabled, the websocket implementation will attempt to use two implicit endpoints, using these URLs:
- `wss://[host]:5443/ws`
- `ws://[host]:5443/ws`
These endpoints should include ports that are used by default by known implementations, such as 5280/5281 (Prosody) and 7070/7443 (Openfire).
This also lifts a bunch of logic from smack-websocket-okhttp into
smack-websocket. Furthermore, the following subprojects require now
Java 11:
- smack-integration-test
- smack-omemo-signal-integration-test
- smack-repl
- smack-websocket-java11

This also resulted in a refactoring of the Providers and parsing
Exceptions. NumberFormatException and ParseException can now be thrown
directly, the wrapping in a SmackParsingException is down at a higher
layer, i.e. in AbstractProvider.
