Document JDK requirement, JDK17+

resolves #26

How does this resolve #26? I'm not using any JVM runtime for the failure I have, do we need a new release that compiles on JDK17 or something (sorry for any awkward / stupid JVM related questions, it's been a while...)?

To use the Avro plugin a JVM is required, your system must have a JVM installed and looks like to be 11

Avro plugin was compiled using JDK 17, as it requires matchers 4.6.x, which requires JVM 17+

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: au/com/dius/pact/core/model/matchingrules/expressions/MatchingRuleDefinition has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

Class file version 61.0 is JDK 17 and 55.0 is JDK 11

Ah, right 🤣. I thought it was some self executing thing, but that makes much more sense.
