Please review this change to update to build of `jtreg` with JDK 17.

Note that we still keep the `--release 8` for agent classes, and `--release 11` for tool classes as-is. That means, the runtime required to launch `jtreg` is unchanged.
Note also, that some tests may require (bundled) external libraries, such as AsmTools 8.1, which moved to Java 17 as their baseline.

This change also sets the version of `jtreg` to `7.6`, the next release number.
