MINOR: Replace Java 20 with Java 21 in `README.md`
I intended to include this in 99e6f12dd099, but somehow missed it.
I will wait for KAFKA-15943 before updating the site docs with Java 21 (we never added Java 20 there).

+We build and test Apache Kafka with Java 8, 11, 17 and 21. We set the `release` parameter in javac and scalac
to `8` to ensure the generated binaries are compatible with Java 8 or higher (independently of the Java version
used for compilation). Java 8 support has been deprecated since Apache Kafka 3.0 and will be removed in Apache
Kafka 4.0 (see [KIP-750](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=181308223) for more details).
