Re: lucene/core/src/java24

I think I see - in theory we could merge into the "regular" source,
aside from the extra hiding, but we might have to recreate this as
soon as we start messing around with JDK25. I guess as long as we
track JDK-specific features (incubation, preview, etc), then we need
this.

In addition it allows us to make sure no classes from there appear in public APIs or can be referenced from there. This is done because compilation with "-release" does not work with a later JDK like 25 (as it is not part of backwards compatibility) and the APIs may suddenly change in later Java versions. Therefore the compilation is done using a stub: https://github.com/apache/lucene/tree/main/lucene/core/src/generated/jdk
