1. Revert "Select Java17 builder image for native when project build wit… …

   …h Java 17"
   
   This reverts commit e2771de and makes
   the use of java17-based builder-images the default without taking into
   account the JVM version used to build the project.
   
   The motivation for this change is that the builder-image compiles
   bytecode to binary files and in theory a Java17-based builder-image
   should be able to compile Java bytecode generated by a Java11 compiler
   and produce a native executable that behaves the same as a native
   executable generated by a Java11-based builder-image.
   
   A key difference between a native executable generated by a Java11-based
   builder-image and a native executable generated by a Java17-based
   builder-image is that they include (embedded in the native executable)
   different implementations of the JDK standard libraries. In theory this
   should not be an issue, given that Java is backwards compatible and the
   Java11 APIs of the standard libraries should still be implemented and
   respected in Java17.
   
   This change will allow us to test this hypothesis in practice as well :)
   If things work as expected then we can drop Java11-based builder-images
   and only generate/maintain Java17-based ones.
