It also drops the `--enable-preview` flag from compilation, which is not actually needed, allowing us to compile using JDK 23 as well. Both these changes then allow us to use JDK 23 to run Gradle, and as a toolchain JDK, in the GitHub actions. Since JDK 23 is available through oracle/setup-java, GitHub actions will work again.

There is a mention of the Gradle version in the `README.md` which has to be adjusted:
