Fall back to a legacy version of the runner & test-runner modules for JVM < 17

The newest versions of the runner and test-runner modules will require Java 17 or newer to run. When trying to use them with older JVMs, Scala CLI will now print a warning and fall back to using legacy versions of those modules instead.

scala-cli test . --jvm 11
# Compiling project (Scala 3.7.4, JVM (11))
# Compiled project (Scala 3.7.4, JVM (11))
# [warn] Java 11 is no longer supported by the test-runner module.
# [warn] Defaulting to a legacy test-runner module version: 1.7.1.
# [warn] To use the latest test-runner, upgrade Java to at least 17.
