Scala Steward can not run on this repo until it allows building under Java 21 #4261

Description

See guardian/scala-steward-public-repos#67 ... we're now running our Scala Steward workflow with Java 21 LTS, which means that all projects that want to have Scala Steward updates (like this one) need to be able to build under Java 21 (even if the projects are still running in production on Java 8).

As guardian/grid is on some mildly old versions of sbt/Scala that can't handle Java 21, it currently is causing the Scala Steward job to fail:

2024-04-09 09:56:46,335 ERROR Steward guardian/grid failed

(unfortunately the Scala Steward run failing affects everyone, see guardian/scala-steward-public-repos#60 - so I've removed guardian/grid from Scala Steward until this PR is merged)

Being able to build with Java 21 requires using recent versions of Scala (2.12.18+) and sbt (1.9.0+) - guardian/mobile-save-for-later#105 should provide a good example of how to fix a repo up!
