DBZ-3658 Oracle JDBC driver JDK8 to JDK11 (ojdbc11) 21.11.0.0

[Naros]

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-3658

@obabec your favorite task -- we'll need to align the testing farm to contain ojdbc11 21.11.0.0, when you have time 😀

• Check release bits and verify no changes needed for ojdbc8 to ojdbc11.
• Update driver reference used by the JDBC sink connector.

@roldanbob wrt docs, I wonder if we shouldn't just change the attribute from ojdbc8-version, now ojdbc11-version to actually just reading ojdbc-version. wdyt? Would this be easy to coordinate for downstream?

We can easily update the attribute name from ojdbc8-version to ojdbc-version, I think , and then assign the current value to it. That makes sense to me. Upstream, it looks like there are only 3 instances in the sources where we reference the attribute, so it's a pretty painless change.

Sounds good, then I'll modify the PR based on that. Thanks @roldanbob.

@Naros Based on the Jira issue, I assume that this affects only 2.6 and later, right? Nothing to turn around for 2.5?

That's correct, and it may even be something we hold off until 2.7; deferring that to @jpechane.
Given that we're on the brink of 2.6.CR1, I'd say that may even be the best and safest bet.
