FINERACT-2269: various small dev-focused improvements

remove unnecessary javadoc html5 option

html5 output is the default since at least Java 17

improve markdown formatting for PR template

fix casing, per GH recommendations

https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-template-for-your-repository recommends lowercase

document system default Java issues

reorder integration test hints importance-wise

make devRun the default

It's faster and more obviously useful for developers.

See https://lists.apache.org/thread/zxvtx9nqqbojvt0dd65tk8zd4xp6ot0t

mention gradle not re-running tests

remove Gitpod

per James, Ádám, and Victor, this is no longer used/supported

for setting up a local dev environment see the top-level README.md and https://fineract-academy.com

- [ ] Write the commit message as per https://github.com/apache/fineract/#pull-requests
- [ ] Acknowledge that we will not review PRs that are not passing the build _("green")_ - it is your responsibility to get a proposed PR to pass the build, not primarily the project's maintainers.
- [ ] Create/update unit or integration tests for verifying the changes made.
- [ ] Follow coding conventions at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Coding+Conventions.
- [ ] Add required Swagger annotation and update API documentation at fineract-provider/src/main/resources/static/legacy-docs/apiLive.htm with details of any API changes
- [ ] Submission is not a "code dump". (Large changes can be made "in repository" via a branch. Ask on the developer mailing list for guidance, if required.)

The authoritative source of truth for what commands/services/tests to run, how, and when are the files in `.github/workflows/`.
Output from runs based on those configuration files appears at <https://github.com/apache/fineract/actions>.
Note these builds are run in [short-lived virtual machines](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-github-hosted-runners), so locally reproducing the same may require additional effort, such as these extra clean-up procedures:
Incorrect default Java-related executables may cause test failures.
To fix this on Debian and Ubuntu systems, run the following:
```bash
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/zulu21
sudo update-alternatives --set java $JAVA_HOME/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives --set javac $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac
sudo update-alternatives --set javadoc $JAVA_HOME/bin/javadoc
```
This would correct, for example, a [class file verson error](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file#General_layout).
You might see something like this if a Java 11 executable (class file format version 56) was the system default, but the integration tests were using Java 21 (class file format version 65):
```
UnsupportedClassVersionError: com.example.package/ClassName has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

Integration test runs such as `./gradlew --no-daemon --console=plain test -x :twofactor-tests:test -x :oauth2-test:test :fineract-e2e-tests-runner:test -PdbType=postgresql` in `.github/workflows/build-postgresql.yml` often take an hour or longer to complete.
If you notice the `:integration-tests:test` task taking significantly less time, say, one minute, gradle may be skipping it.
Look for something like this in the test output:
```
> Task :integration-tests:test UP-TO-DATE 👀
Custom actions are attached to task ':integration-tests:test'.
Build cache key for task ':integration-tests:test' is 6aeeec3f58bf9703d4c100fbaa657f5c

```
(This is with the `--info` gradle argument with eyeballs added for emphasis)
The `--rerun-tasks` gradle argument may help, or you can try destroying `~/.gradle` and other clean-up procedures as indicated above then re-running tests.
This is useful for repeated test runs (say, for timing) when gradle would otherwise assume a task is "up-to-date" and not re-run it.
