Newest Strimzi operator should use Java version 17 instead of 11

Summary

The Java version in the dockerfile uses version 11 of java (https://repo1.dso.mil/dsop/opensource/strimzi/operator/-/blob/development/Dockerfile#L8) while the matching version of strimzi operator upstream has been made on, and tested on java version 17 (https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/blob/0.33.0/development-docs/DEV_GUIDE.md#java-versions).

When deploying, strimzi operator will fail saying the supported version of java is 0.61.0 (version 17) but the complied code is 0.55.0

Steps to reproduce

Using strimzi helm charts and a default deployment will create this error

What is the current bug behavior?

The strimzi operator pod will go into crashloopbackoff with the logs showing an error about the Java version

What is the expected correct behavior?

Strimzi operator pod should stand up without Java errors by using the current operator Java version
