FINERACT-2094: Update to Java 21

modernize locale instantiations (fixes an error found by the modernizer plugin) - use Locale.of() instead of new Locale()

use recommended gradle toolchain syntax to specify Java class file format version see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_plugin.html#toolchain_and_compatibility

mark html5 for later fix (it's the default)

use dummy byte arrays to work around mockito exception

```
org.mockito.exceptions.base.MockitoException:
Mockito cannot mock this class: class java.nio.ByteBuffer.

If you're not sure why you're getting this error, please open an issue on GitHub.

You are seeing this disclaimer because Mockito is configured to create inlined mocks.
You can learn about inline mocks and their limitations under item #39 of the Mockito class javadoc.

wrap byte arrays with ByteBuffer

fix:

```
/home/adamm/git/apache/fineract/fineract-provider/src/test/java/org/apache/fineract/infrastructure/event/external/jobs/SendAsynchronousEventsTaskletTest.java:148: error: incompatible types: byte[] cannot be converted to ByteBuffer

...and use StandardCharsets with getBytes
