HdrHistogram

Revert moditect plugin use and use Automatic-Module-Name instead

High Level changes

• Changes to Java SE versions support:

  • Moves earliest supported Java SE version to Java 8 (Java 7 no longer supported starting 2.2.x)
  • Builds and tests on Java SE 8, 11, 17, and 21. Produces Java SE 8 (source, target, release) artifacts.
  • Packaging (mvn package) requires Java SE 11 or above. Will still produce Java SE 8 compatible jars, but also includes module info.

• Adds API to abstract histogram snapshot sources via IntervalHistogramProvider (see https://github.com/HdrHistogram/HdrHistogram/pull/185)

• Adds explicit module info using the moditect maven plugin (see https://github.com/HdrHistogram/HdrHistogram/pull/205)
