feat: JLink plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed unmerged; JLink support instead arrived through Craft Parts in 4a001f54 and received smoke-test coverage in merged PR #797.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: The author closed the standalone plugin after the design was redirected into the Java plugin. Rockcraft later enabled Craft Parts' JLink support in commit 4a001f54, documented it for 1.8, and merged validation in PR #797.

-----
This PR adds jlink plugin that allows to generate Java runtime tailored for the Java application.
When ran without supplying jar file property it will search the staging area for any jars and generate an image for them.
If no jar files are found, then java.base image will be generated.
This PR includes unit and integration tests.
The plugin documentation is split into separate PR: https://github.com/canonical/rockcraft/pull/689
Sample ROCK using plugin: https://github.com/canonical/openjdk-rocks/tree/prototype/demos/java-runtime
