[Impact]

Java 21 is the latest stable release of Java. In order for Ubuntu to
provide a robust Java toolchain for our users the stable Ubuntu releases
(focal and jammy) should include Java 21.

Java 21 requires bootstrapping from Java 20 (or existing Java 21).
Neither Java 20 nor Java 21 are published in Jammy and Focal.

Mantic contains the Release Candidate Java 21 build 35. It was promoted
to a General Availability build on 20 September 2023.

adjust-bootjdk.patch (attached) allows bootstrapping from openjdk-17
that is present in Focal and Jammy releases. This patch is only intended
for bootstrapping of GA Java 21 build and contains limitations such as
disabled jtreg tests and disabled documentation package. The full
debdiff of bootstrap openjdk-21 package is attached.

The openjdk-21  21~35ea-1ubuntu1~20.04 should be published to focal -proposed and blocked from migration.
The openjdk-21  21~35ea-1ubuntu1~22.04 should be published to jammy -proposed and blocked from migration.

Those builds will allow publishing of the openjdk-21 21+35-1~20.04 and
21+35-1~22.04 packages.

Jtreg tests should be disabled for the package due to the large number
of packages that need to be upgraded in order to port jtreg7 [1]. This
should be handled as a separate issue.

The bootstrap openjdk is built for all architectures in
ppa:openjdk-r/ppa[2]

[Test Plan]

The ppas are set up with security pocket enabled.

PPA: ppa:vpa1977/openjdk-21-jtreg7[1]
PPA: ppa:vpa1977/openjdk-21-rebuild[3]
PPA: ppa:vpa1977/openjdk-21-notests [4]

The jtreg7 with dependencies, openjdk-21  21~35ea-1ubuntu1~20.04 and
openjdk-21  21~35ea-1ubuntu1~22.04 are published to the PPA[1].

A dependent PPA[2] has openjdk-21 21+35-1 published in Focal and Jammy.

A PPA with versions that should be uploaded[4] has openjdk-21 with jtreg
tests disabled.

The ppa:vpa1977/openjdk-21-bootstrapped[2] should build and jtreg tests
should pass (see comments).

Packages built with tests disabled[4] should pass installation tests
(see piuparts attachments).

[Where problems could occur]

The packages need to be blocked from migration otherwise users will get
an incomplete openjdk-21 package (missing documentation).

The jtreg tests need to be disabled in the archive as we do not have an
official jtreg port yet.

There are no packages in the archive depending on Java 21 (except
openjdk-21 itself).
