armitage: fix build with jdk17 + gradle_8

[Misaka13514]

The switch to Gradle 8 in Nixpkgs caused the Armitage build to fail.
Gradle 8.x requires Java 17 or newer to run its daemon, but the derivation was still using jdk11 in nativeBuildInputs.

This caused the Gradle daemon's JVM to crash during startup, with the error "Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly".

This commit fixes the build by switching the build-time Java environment to jdk17 for nativeBuildInputs, satisfying Gradle's requirement.

The runtime Java version in the wrapper is kept at jdk11, as upstream's README explicitly states that newer Java versions (e.g., 18) "break EVERYTHING", making jdk11 the safest choice for runtime compatibility.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes the Armitage build failure caused by the switch to Gradle 8 in Nixpkgs. Gradle 8.x requires Java 17 or newer for its build daemon, which was causing crashes with the previous jdk11 configuration.

• Switched build-time Java environment from jdk11 to jdk17 in nativeBuildInputs
• Maintained jdk11 at runtime for application compatibility per upstream requirements

armitage on nixos-25.11 builds fine so no need to backport
