dist: Support Liberica NIK (#878) (#1112)

Add the `liberica-nik` distribution (Liberica Native Image Kit), a
GraalVM-based build from BELL Software resolved via the Bell-SW
`/v1/nik/releases` API.

- `java-version` matches the embedded JDK version (from the release's
  `liberica` component), consistent with every other distribution.
- `java-package: jdk` installs the `standard` bundle; `jdk+fx` installs
  the `full` bundle with JavaFX/Swing support.
- Supported on Linux, macOS and Windows for x64 and aarch64.
