Late Christmas Present - GlassFish 7.1.0

[dmatej]

• Soon we release a version 7.0.20
• We will need to make a lot of maintenance in future months, it would help to reduce differences between versions.

So my idea to be discussed here is to make these changes to 7.1.0, which would be released early in 2025. I will add list of issues which would be a part of the release:

• Abandon support for Java11
  • That was required to validate TCK tests for Jakarta EE 10. That is now just in a maintenance mode and I believe we can release 7.0.x version if there would be some important change, however I don't think it would be required.
  • Jakarta EE 10 TCK can be run on JDK17 too and GlassFish passes them.
• Rename all com.sun.packages to org.glassfish.main.*
  • Mandatory to be able to continue with JPMS
  • Already existing issue Refactor com.sun.* classes to org.glassfish.main #23627
• Introduce JPMS at least to GF bootstrap, refactor dependencies to make it possible
  • Already done in Redesign of GlassFish bootstrap #25183
  • The Redesign of GlassFish bootstrap #25183 should be a safe point of these changes.
  • This phase was the hardest part, took me nearly two months.
  • I already started another part to link all related constants together and make those dependencies consistent.
  • This PR makes all other changes doable at least.
• Introduce Microprofile Health
  • Nearly done in Add Microprofile Health #25186
  • Requires JDK17+
• Logging will start with the domain, see JDK loggers can initialize the JDK LogManager before GlassFishLogManager is set #25133 (the original issue which led me to start with Redesign of GlassFish bootstrap #25183)

And I would like to know - what do you think about this?
