Fly like a rocket with Helidon

" summary

Helidon 2.1 adds GraalVM native image support for Helidon MP, a reactive HTTP client and MicroProfile Reactive Streams, plus a non‑blocking Helidon DB Client that wraps blocking JDBC on an executor. The CLI creates quickstarts and a dev-mode live reload that recompiles and swaps routes as files change. Native images start in fractions of a second and the native executable is ~22 MB with ~28 MB RAM versus a JVM jar under 6 MB and ~300 MB RAM, and the quickstarts and demos run successfully.
