Pull Request Overview
This PR drops support for Java 8 to allow upgrading arrow‑java to 18.3.0, which no longer supports Java 8. The key changes include:

- Updating documentation to reflect support only for JDK 11/17.
- Adjusting CI workflows in .github/workflows/pr_build.yml to remove Java 8 from the test matrices.

- In the 'macos-aarch64-test-with-old-spark' workflow, only Java 17 is being tested compared to other workflows that test both Java 11 and 17. Please confirm if omitting Java 11 here is intentional to ensure adequate test coverage.
