gradle's java plugin translates `sourceCompatibility NN` into `-source NN -target NN`. I haven't looked into whether
gradle has a way to use `-release`. In practice, what it means is that we need to be careful not to use newer API from
a newer JDK.
We could look into changing it if gradle provides that support, but that would be a separate issue, independent from
upgrading the boot JDK from 13 to 14.
