Various javac options take a supported release argument, including --release, --source, and --target.

The list of supported releases can exceed the 80-column output limit now used for javac -help output.

(Filing this bug prompted by
tools/javac/options/HelpOutputColumnWidthTest.java:
failing during initial start of JDK 22 efforts.)

Fix was pushed while main issue was targeted to '21'. Reset the main issue to fixed in '22' and copied the Robo Duke entry here.

This will need to be addressed in some fashion for the start-of-JDK-22 work, as a fall-back the test will need to be problem listed to allow clean test runs. While it is currently the case that all integer values between 8 and 20 are valid, this will not necessarily be the case in the future (i.e. non-LTS releases between LTS releases might be dropped).

Couldn't we just use a range, as in 8..20, instead of enumerating all numbers between 8 and 20 ?
