LUCENE-10185 caused a large performance regression in ECJ tasks by using the --release flag.
Instead of using --release, we can just disable "terminal deprecation", and leave this check to `javac`. The --release flag makes this tool run 50% slower.
* LUCENE-10185: pass --release 11 to ECJ linter, fix JDK 17 build
Otherwise, new java releases such as JDK 18, JDK 19, ... may have even
more new deprecations, the build shouldn't fail in such cases.
Remove -source/-target now that we pass --release
Fix casting so ECJ understands it and creates correct call signature (UweSays: "It's ok. I know why it happens, but it's a bug in ECJ. The type safety is checked by the invokeexact")

Fails the linter if an exception is swallowed (e.g. variable completely
unused).
If this is intentional for some reason, the exception can simply by
annotated with @SuppressWarnings("unused").
Detects common cases of unreachable/dead code.
For generated javacc code, the check is disabled via
SuppressWarnings("unused") because javacc generates strange/bad code such as:
if ("" == null)
For TestStressNRTReplication's startNode() method, the check is also
disabled because analysis folds the "test evilness controls" which are
static final constants. This itself is a WTF, shouldn't we instead
randomize these evil things in our tests rather than hardcoding them to
specific values?
Requiring the annotation is helpful because if an abstract method is removed, the concrete methods will then show up as compile errors: preventing dead code from being accidentally left behind.

Enable ecj unused local variable, private instance and method detection. Allow SuppressWarnings("unused") to disable unused checks (e.g. for generated code or very special tests). Fix gradlew regenerate for python 3.9 SuppressWarnings("unused") for generated javacc and jflex code. Enable a few other easy ecj checks such as Deprecated annotation, hashcode/equals, equals across different types.
