Description

Currently the JDK requirements are extracted (https://github.com/apache/maven-plugin-tools/blob/1087f55e8cdfd8c1fec605a7cb9004efaee4e592/maven-plugin-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/plugin/PluginReport.java#L759) from either

1. the explicitly set requirement (via plugin configuration parameter)
2. or by evaluating the maven-compiler-plugin's target parameter

With Java 9 it is pretty common to use release instead (https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#release). Therefore this parameter should be evaluated as well.
