The idea is that, moving forward, we will create a branch to "freeze" 
the code before we move the jextract code to support a new release.

So, now master has the Java 18 code; when we'll ship 19, we'll create a 
18 branch with the code that is now in master, and apply the 19 changes 
onto the master.

That way master always means "current Java release".

We might try adding a branch for 17 - but we might not be able to offer 
binaries for it (when binaries become available).
