Mention JDK requirements in README

[Marcono1234]

Before this PR

The class files of this project are compiled with Java 17 as target version, but it is currently not documented.

After this PR

The minimum JDK version is documented

Not sure if for the generated code a minimum JDK version can be specified as well. It probably mostly depends on what builder methods users are calling. For example if they use TypeSpec#recordBuilder, then the generated code can not be compiled with JDK 8.

I had hoped a CLA will not be necessary. I will probably sign it though, but I have some questions which I wrote to [email protected] a few days ago, and will wait for an answer first.

Thanks! Let me know if you don’t hear back by next week, I can make sure things move along. I’m ooto until next Thursday, so my response time may be a bit slow in the meantime.

It seems I haven't gotten any response yet. Maybe the e-mail address I had sent my questions from was a bit unusual, but the e-mail subject and body shouldn't have triggered any spam detection on Palantir's side I hope.

So far I still haven't gotten a response to my CLA questions I had sent per mail. If a company thinks they need a CLA, they should at least specify how they use the provided data, how they protect it and which of it (if any) will be publicly visible.

I assume eventually this PR here will then be closed as well, just like #85 and #87 (and other is:closed label:stale PRs).

Lots of other large companies don't require a CLA on GitHub (see also this blog post), or make it easier to sign one, require less data (especially no handwritten signature) and make it clear what the data is used for, how it is protected and who will have access to it (and whether it is e.g. publicly exposed on GitHub).

I guess someone else has to implement these improvements and fixes then.
For what its worth, the Palantir CLA includes "8. Submissions on Behalf of Third Parties", so I would not mind if someone who signed the CLA picks up my commits and creates a PR with them (in case that is permitted).
