Description

Upgrade the official supported version to IRI to the next LTS version (currently it is java 11, but java 14 is coming up soon)

Motivation

Community request to support AVX512 is only available since Java 9 (https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8076276).

Requirements

  1. Have devops build IRI with the updated java version
  2. Create coding guidelines that are up to date with the latest version
  3. Do minimal refactoring necessary for support
  4. Ascertain support for AVX512
