With --@rules_java//java:incompatible_language_version_bootclasspath, the bootclasspath used for Java compilation is now determined based on the numeric version specified in --java_language_version and the type specified in --java_runtime_version rather than just using the target runtime.

For example, with --java_language_version=8 and
--java_runtime_version=remotejdk_21, the bootclasspath would be extracted from remotejdk_8.

For unversioned runtime versions such as local_jdk, the behavior doesn't change.

If a matching runtime is not available, analysis fails with a customized error message explaining the various options to the user.

Work towards bazelbuild/bazel#21769

With `--@rules_java//java:incompatible_language_version_bootclasspath`,
the bootclasspath used for Java compilation is now determined based on
the numeric version specified in `--java_language_version` and the type
specified in `--java_runtime_version` rather than just using the target
runtime.

For example, with `--java_language_version=8` and
`--java_runtime_version=remotejdk_21`, the bootclasspath would extracted
from `remotejdk_8`.

For unversioned runtime versions such as `local_jdk`, the behavior
doesn't change.

If a matching runtime is not available, analysis fails with a customized
error message explaining the various options to the user. Instead, to
make the incompatible change less breaking, the failure could be
downgraded to a warning and a fallback to the previous behavior.
