Bump pending dependencies from the Renovate dashboard

Issue : #172

Description

Bumps every update that was rate-limited on the Dependency Dashboard (#172) to the version listed there. The one exception is Playwright 1.63 (#440), which Sauce doesn't support yet and stays on hold.

Dependency	From	To
io.cucumber:* (java, junit, picocontainer, testng)	7.34.6	8.0.4
JUnit (junit-jupiter, junit-jupiter-engine)	6.1.2	6.1.3
com.deque.html.axe-core:selenium	4.12.0	4.13.0
Selenium (selenium-java, -api, -support, -remote-driver)	4.46.0	4.50.0
maven-compiler-plugin	3.15.0	3.16.0
maven-surefire-plugin	3.5.6	3.6.0
actions/setup-java	v5	v6
CI JDK (java-jdk)	21	25

Fixes needed for the bumps to work:

• Selenium 4.50 only ships Chrome DevTools v152–v154, so DevToolsTest imports move from v148 to v154 (Sauce's newest Chrome is 154).
• Surefire 3.6 removed its TestNG and JUnit 4 providers, so every framework now runs through the JUnit Platform:
  • TestNG retries now work with -Dsurefire.rerunFailingTestsCount directly, so the RetryListener added in Fix iOS real device workflows and use test-runner retries in CI #441 is removed. Keeping it made a failing test run 9 times instead of 3.
  • In selenium-cucumber-examples, the include pattern **/*AT.class no longer matched anything (0 tests ran). It's now **/*AT.java.
  • JUnit 4 <parallel> settings are ignored, so the three JUnit 4 modules ran their tests one at a time. They now use the vintage engine's parallel settings with the same thread counts.

Types of Changes

• Configuration change
• Refactor/improvements

Tasks

• All 11 modules compile with JDK 25
• DevToolsTest passes 15/15 on Sauce Chrome 154
• Cucumber 8 finds and runs all 5 scenarios on Sauce
• Checked under Surefire 3.6 with throwaway local tests: TestNG and JUnit 4 test discovery, retries (flake reporting, one retry layer), and parallel execution
• CI green on this PR

Review

• Tests
• Documentation
• CHANGELOG

Deployment Notes

Known issues that already exist on main, not caused by this PR:

• 3 of the 5 Cucumber scenarios fail on every attempt (missing .shopping_cart_badge / .btn_secondary elements). testFailureIgnore=true hides this, and main's CI shows the same 3 failures.
• appium-app-best-practice (not run in CI) is already broken: its TestNG suite references a missing Android.DemoSimpleTest class and iOS 14 devices. Surefire 3.6 also stops reading suiteXmlFiles, so the module needs reworking.
