Evaluate upgrading Groovy to 5.0.0 under JDK 11 runtime constraint (#13679)
### Evaluation Purpose
This PR is an extension to another PR ( #13671 ) and evaluates upgrading
the Groovy engine from **4.0.x to 5.0.0 (earliest GA)** with a focus on
validating **SkyWalking’s JDK 11 runtime compatibility guarantee**.
Groovy is used as a runtime dependency in several OAP backend modules, so
this change is evaluated strictly from a **compatibility and policy**
perspective.
### Verification Results
Local evaluation was performed using **JDK 21 for build** and **JDK 11 for
runtime**, targeting the primary Groovy consumers (`log-analyzer` and
`meter-analyzer`).
- **Build Status:** SUCCESS (built with JDK 21)
- **Runtime Compatibility:**
Verified that the **OAP distribution starts successfully on JDK 11** with
Groovy 5.0.0.
- *Test:* Built full distribution (`-Pdist`) on JDK 21, then launched OAP
via `oapService.bat` using JDK 11.
- *Result:* Server started successfully and bound ports without any
`UnsupportedClassVersionError` or JVM compatibility failures.
- **Tests Passed:**
- `oap-server/analyzer/log-analyzer` (LAL script parsing)
- `oap-server/analyzer/meter-analyzer` (MAL script execution)
### Key Findings
- No compilation issues observed in backend modules.
- No Groovy/Spock incompatibilities detected in the existing test suite.
- Groovy 5.0.0 does not introduce runtime incompatibilities with JDK 11
based on the evaluated scope.
### Scope Notes
This PR is intended solely as a **compatibility evaluation** and does not
include test refactors, additional Groovy 5.x upgrades, or behavioral changes.
