fix: CI build and runtime for Android 12

compileSdk / targetSdk upgrade from API level 30 (Android 11/R) to 31 (Android 12/R) requires additional fixes in order to avoid CI failures on build & LoadKeysWorker crash while running the app on Android 12+ devices.

---------------------

- JDK CI java-version upgrade from 1.8 to 11

- androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx dependency version upgrade from 2.5.0 to 2.7.1 + top-level project dependency override (in order to keep alignment between app & other projects)

- Using androidx.startup to initialize WorkManager (required since work-runtime-ktx:2.6.0)
