opcua-server tool still depends on Eclipse Milo 0.6.16 — interest in upgrading to Milo 1.x? #700

Description

@LivingLikeKrillin

The plc4j/tools/opcua-server module still depends on Eclipse Milo 0.6.16
(dictionary-manager, sdk-server, and stack-server are all pinned to 0.6.16, and
dictionary-manager is a 0.6.x-only artifact).

Milo has since shipped 1.0 and is now on the 1.1.x line (latest 1.1.3); the 0.6.x series
is quite old. This would be a real migration rather than a version bump — between 0.6.x and
1.x, Milo:

  • reworked/renamed pieces like DataTypeDictionaryManager → BinaryDataTypeDictionaryManager,
  • moved several packages (e.g. sdk.server.api.config → sdk.server, sdk.server.api → sdk.server.items),
  • changed the server bootstrap (1.x transport abstraction) and the cert/identity-validator APIs,
  • and now requires Java 17+.

I'd be happy to take this on — I recently had a fix merged into Eclipse Milo itself and have
worked with its 1.x server SDK, so I've already mapped most of these API changes. Before I
start a PR, a couple of questions:

  1. Is there interest in keeping this tool on a current Milo release?
  2. Is there a specific reason it's still pinned to 0.6.16 (e.g. a minimum Java version for
    plc4x-extras I should respect)?

Happy to follow up with a PR if this is welcome.
