Add notes for spotbugs jdk21 support
What does this MR do and why?
Update Spotbugs documentation to describe how users can enable JDK21 support.
Version 6 of the Spotbugs analyzer introduces JDK21 support but also removes JDK11, which is a breaking change. Since this breaking change was not approved, we cannot update the stable CI template to use version 6 by default. This documentation serves to guide users on how to enable JDK21 support by manually pinning to version 6.

Author's checklist
-
Optional. Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course. -
Follow the: -
If you're adding a new page, add the product availability details under the H1 topic title. -
If you are a GitLab team member, request a review based on: - The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
~"frontend"~"backend"~"type::bug"~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Reviewer's checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. -
Technical writer review items: -
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. -
Ensure a release milestone is set. -
If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including: -
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something likeConfigure GDK. -
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. -
If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
