Changes

Please describe both what is changing and why this is important. Include:

• We have added 2 new tasks to run the Unit tests in different JVM LTS versions.
• Test class compilation will target Java 8 since we run unit tests in Java 8 (Previously this was compiled for Java 11)
• Jacoco toolVersion is explicitly mentioned since Java 17 is provided only above the specified version
• Had to ignore Tests for secp256k1 curve since it is disabled for Java 15+. We have to decide on whether we are going to support this and then decide on running these tests
