Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/java-driver/actions/runs/31555321817/job/93986439829

Problem

The docs workflow builds Javadocs for every release branch listed in docs/source/conf.py. Since switching to JDK 11, the Javadoc build has been failing for all 4.x release branches.

The previous fix #991 didn't solve the issue because it only suppresses Javadoc doclint errors. The build was actually failing earlier, during compilation.

Solution

Install both JDK 8 and JDK 11, and configure each release branch to use the appropriate JDK when building its Javadocs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation workflow now installs JDK 8 and JDK 11. The multiversion post-build hook selects the JDK for each Scylla version and delegates to javadoc.sh. The workflow no longer suppresses Maven Javadoc failures. Developer documentation describes the multiversion build and configuration process.

The documentation build selects JDKs per branch, but a missing mapped JDK variable can still cause an incompatible 4.x build, and the local setup documentation does not fully describe the required JDKs and mappings. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to prevent misleading or failing Javadocs.

20-28: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the multiversion JDK requirements.

The prerequisites list only JDK 11 or higher, but this command uses JDK 8 for the mapped 4.x branches. The wrapper at docs/_utils/javadoc-multiversion.sh, Lines 5-21, maps an explicit list; current 3.x branches use JDK 11. Document both local JDKs and the exact mapping.

Proposed wording
-`docs/_utils/javadoc-multiversion.sh` selects the JDK per branch: branches up to `scylla-4.19.0.x` need JDK 8, newer ones JDK 11.
+`docs/_utils/javadoc-multiversion.sh` selects JDK 8 for the listed 4.x branches and JDK 11 for all other branches.
+Local multiversion builds require JDK 8 and JDK 11.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/_utils/javadoc-multiversion.sh`:
- Around line 26-32: Update the JDK selection logic in javadoc-multiversion.sh
so branches requiring a mapped JDK fail with an error when the selected JDK
variable is unset, rather than retaining the existing JAVA_HOME and running
javadoc.sh. Preserve the default-JDK fallback only for branches explicitly
configured to use the default JDK.
