feat: upgrade Java dependencies

[trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com]

Updates Java dependencies to latest available level.

jackson-databind is left at 2.16.1 instead of the very latest 2.18.1 because vertx-dependencies 4.5.10 pulls in 2.16.1.
Note that 2.16.1 is not flagged as having security vulnerabilities at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-databind so the upgrade to 2.18.1 is not critical at this point.

@neeraj-laad can you please review this PR.

[neeraj-laad]

LGTM, the checks on the PR are not passing. @trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com please can you address those?

[trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com]

Looks like it's related to node versions; will take a look.

[trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com]

Looks like node 20 works with the expected commit messages, and https://github.com/trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com/kafka-java-vertx-starter/actions/runs/11760954876 is green.

Probably worth running the actions again to see if the changes help in this repo.

@trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com the workflow still fails but it is much better at showing what is wrong. Can you take a look now and fix?

[tdolby-at-uk-ibm-com]

@neeraj-laad That's looking better as you say, and I think it's complaining about my squash commit message and nothing to do with code as such; I've added another commit with less text in the hope it works that way.

[neeraj-laad]

That worked. Thanks @trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com

@trevor-dolby-at-ibm-com I had created a release using your changes but I could not run the app locally and saw these errors:

So I deleted the release and tag to make sure everything works before we publish a release as I do not see this issue with older version. Did you notice any such issues in your running locally?
