The APIs that were preview APIs in Java 19/20 are changed to permanent and their `@since`/equivalent are changed to 21 (as per the guidance in JEP 12). The JNI and JVMTI versions are bumped as this is the first change in 21 to need the new version number. A lot of tests are updated to drop `@enablePreview` and --enable-preview.

The stack walker change looks good.  I also reviewed other changes which look fine to me.
