>> JEP 444 proposes to make virtual threads a permanent feature in Java 21. 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.

More specifically, the cases where  end of a continuation falls precisely at the end of the batch, or where the remaining frames are hidden, weren't handled correctly.

>> - A few robustness improvements for OOME and SOE. There is more to do here, for future PRs.

>> - ThreadPerTaskExecutor is changed to use FutureTask.
