Prepare documentation for v6 release (#1253)

Browse Source 
Update public examples and release messaging to make v6 the recommended stable version, include late-cycle v6 features, and increase the JetBrains test timeout to avoid cold-run flakes.

## What's new
### V6 (in development)
### V6
- Migrated the action implementation to ESM to support the latest `@actions/*` packages.
- Added the `oracle-openjdk` distribution for OpenJDK builds from Oracle.
- Added the `oracle-openjdk`, `redhat`, and `liberica-nik` distributions.
- Added `java-version: latest` to resolve the newest stable GA release from the distribution's remote metadata.
- JDK downloads now automatically verify authoritative checksums for [supported distributions](#download-integrity-and-signatures).
- JDK downloads now automatically verify authoritative checksums, and package signature verification defaults to enabled for Temurin and Microsoft builds.
- Added `force-download: true` to bypass the tool cache and perform a reproducible fresh install.
- Dependency caching now supports custom paths with `cache-path` and restore-only operation with `cache-read-only: true`.
- Downloaded JDKs are now [cached](#caching-jdk-installations) automatically when `cache` is set; use `cache-jdk` to enable or disable it independently.
- Maven configuration now supports multiple server credentials and custom dependency-resolution repositories.
- Set `problem-matcher: false` to disable Java compiler and uncaught-exception annotations.
- GraalVM distributions now set `GRAALVM_HOME` in addition to `JAVA_HOME`.
- Invalid boolean values, unsupported distribution/package/platform combinations, and mismatched Maven toolchain ID counts now fail with targeted errors.

## Selecting a Java distribution
`java-version` and `distribution` select what gets installed. `java-version` may be replaced by `java-version-file`, and `distribution` is optional only when `java-version-file` points to a `.sdkmanrc` or `.tool-versions` file that carries a recognized vendor identifier. In every other case both inputs must be provided. See [Supported distributions](../README.md#Supported-distributions) for a list of available options.
