JDK-8370893 - Add SourceVersion.RELEASE_27
Description
Summary
-------

Add a new enum constant `RELEASE_27` to `javax.lang.model.SourceVersion` for the JDK 27 release and update the FooVisitor14 and FooVisitorPreview visitors to cover release 27 as well.

Problem
-------

The `SourceVersion` enum needs an enum constant for each release being modeled.

Solution
--------

Append the enum constant `RELEASE_27` and update the visitor text and supported source version annotations to cover from RELEASE_14 to RELEASE_27. As a consequence of appending a new enum constant, the behavior of the `latest()` and `latestSupported()` methods is updated accordingly.
