Upgrade dependencies and Java (#41)

[dvbeek]

Updated the dependencies to the latest versions and Java version to Java 17. Tested it locally (with gpsd-nmea-simulator docker) with the project Tester, and in our own project. Peer reviewed by my colleague 'mydeveloperplanet'.

Does this mean that future versions of the library will have a Java17 dependency? If so this might not be ideal: not everyone is there yet and it might be necessary to maintain multiple versions for this then.

@0x08 This indeed is a major change, I would recommend increasing the major version to show this.

I don't think 2 versions have to be maintained, because I don't expect a lot of functionality to be added in the coming months (the last release was more than 5 years ago). But of course we can also lower the Java version to something like Java 11, to increase applicability?

Maybe Java11 would be a good compromise for now? A version that is widespread and still quite recent.
