CI: Use Java 26

[cstamas]

Up CI matrix from Java 25 to Java 26.

@kwin this seems quite consistent: JDK transport UTs fail on Java 26?

Seems some internal retry mechanism has changed in Java 26...

[kwin]

With Java 26 the num of internal retries is 5 times the number of retries controlled via Methanol (=3 by default). Prior Java 26 the internal number of retries was 2... The retry handling got changed in openjdk/jdk@e8db14f#diff-41e3c3f66a6d78612e230f2546ac15e3f82619efe333a731b64f59a9e4991816R613.

Please rebase on top of master now @cstamas.

[kwin]

Ok, still not working reliably, I would tend to disable the ITs related to retries in JDKTransporter as those are too brittle. WDYT @cstamas ?

[cstamas]

Yup, go for it.
