Description
Gradle 8.14 has improved the support for toolchains in regards to native-image: https://docs.gradle.org/8.14/release-notes.html#toolchains
We should consider if we want to enable that when reacting to the native-image plugin.

Research direction
Start with the Gradle 8.14 toolchains release notes and the native-image plugin reaction entry point in Spring Boot. Determine whether the plugin should enable the improved toolchain support, then verify the decision with the relevant native-image build or integration tests; done means the intended toolchain behavior is covered and documented by tests.
