Supporting Range requests in the context of JDK's Simple Web Server means enabling the server to serve only the requested portion of a static file.

>> 2. Calculates an `ETag` for each resource based on its last-modified date and file size and sends it to the client on demand for use with the `If-Range` header.
>> 3. Returns the `Accept-Ranges` header for all file retrievals, and `Content-Range` when a client requests a specific range.
>> 4. Adds a new constant `HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE` to the `Codes` class to indicate invalid ranges.
>> 5. Returns `206 Partial Content` for valid ranges and `416 Range Not Satisfiable` for invalid ranges.
>> 6. Includes corresponding tests to verify correct behavior.

>> This enhancement was motivated by recent discussions on the net-dev mailing list, which requested support for Range requests along with example use cases: https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/net-dev/2025-April/026364.html

Sure, I’ll update the PR.
I’ll also update the copyright year in the modified files while I’m at it.
