Release: rules_java 7.6.0

[hvadehra]

Ack, I'm planning to get started on the java_tools release now. I'm not sure we can get bazelbuild/bazel#22197 in before Monday. @cushon is currently OOO and I believe there are still some unresolved concerns around the licensing of Oracle graalvm.

Changes since the last release:

commit	author	desc
915944e	fmeum	Register Java 8 runtimes with Bzlmod
000ef3c	comius	Stop returning legacy struct providers from java_toolchain_alias
f195f33	fmeum	Add JDK 8 tools.jar contents to bootclasspath
355d6b0	hvadehra	Propagate all bzl deps for tests
6f3e7a8	hvadehra	LSC(tp): Add load() statements for the builtin top-level java symbols
d413f31	hvadehra	LSC: Add load() statements for the builtin java rules
1a8f8c6	hvadehra	LSC(tp): Add load() statements for the builtin top-level java symbols
69dd554	srdio-humio	Make jmods available from the jdk BUILD file

Nothing looks like it should require a major version bump (java_tools release aside).

@fmeum @srdo-humio Is there a strong desire to get your changes in Bazel 7.2.0? If so, I think we will need to make this release by Monday.

@hvadehra My changes to rules_java itself aren't that important, but the java_tools update would include relevant Turbine fixes for Java 21 language features and, ideally, also bazelbuild/bazel#22197.

[srdo-humio]

@hvadehra The jmods change is easy to work around locally, but the java_tools update for google/turbine@ff491a5, to allow targeting Java 21 with --release would be nice.
