Fixes #40

**Describe the solution you've provided**

Raises the lower bound of the `dev.openfeature:sdk` dependency range
from `[1.13.0,2.0.0)` to `[1.16.0,2.0.0)`.

The previous lower bound of 1.13.0 was incorrect for two reasons, both
confirmed by inspecting the bytecode of the relevant SDK versions:

1. **Compilation failure** (SDK < 1.14.1):
`TrackingEventDetails.getValue()` (no-arg) does not exist prior to
1.14.1. The `Provider.track()` method calls this, so the project cannot
compile against SDK versions [1.13.0, 1.14.1).

2. **Binary incompatibility** (SDK < 1.16.0):
`EventProvider.emitProviderReady`, `emitProviderError`,
`emitProviderStale`, and `emitProviderConfigurationChanged` changed
their return type from `void` to `Awaitable` in SDK 1.16.0. Code
compiled against < 1.16.0 throws `NoSuchMethodError` at runtime when a
consumer brings in SDK ≥ 1.16.0.

Setting the lower bound to 1.16.0 resolves both issues.

Existing tests already exercise the affected code paths (emit methods in
`LifeCycleTest`, tracking in `ProviderTest`). No new test coverage is
needed since this is a dependency range correction, not a behavior
change.

**Test fixes**

This PR also fixes pre-existing flaky/failing tests:

*`LifeCycleTest`*
- **`itCanHandleClientThatIsNotInitializedImmediately`**: Event handlers
registered via `OpenFeatureAPI.getInstance().on(...)` were leaking
across tests because the singleton was not consistently cleaned up.
Added `@AfterEach` calling `OpenFeatureAPI.getInstance().shutdown()` so
handlers are cleared between tests. Removed individual `shutdown()`
calls from test bodies since cleanup is now centralized.
- **`canShutdownAnOfflineClient`**: Removed the assertion that the data
source status is `OFF` after shutdown. The offline `LDClient` does not
transition its data source status to `OFF` on `close()`, so this
assertion was always incorrect. The test now verifies that shutdown
completes without error.

*`ProviderTest`*
- **All four evaluation tests**: Replaced `setProvider()` (non-blocking)
+ `Awaitility.await().forever()` polling with `setProviderAndWait()`
(synchronous). This eliminates the race condition that caused
`itCanDoAValueEvaluation` to throw `NullPointerException` on Java 11,
and removes the risk of tests hanging indefinitely. To support
`setProviderAndWait()` calling `initialize()`, the mock
`LDClientInterface` now stubs `getFlagTracker()`,
`getDataSourceStatusProvider()`, and `isInitialized()`.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

- Setting the lower bound to 1.14.1 would fix the compilation issue but
not the binary incompatibility, so 1.16.0 is the correct minimum.

**Additional context**

- The issue suggests bumping the library version from 1.1.1 → 1.2.0.
This repo uses release-please, so version bumping may be handled
separately.

**Key items for review:**
- Confirm 1.16.0 is the appropriate lower bound (no intermediate
versions were skipped that would also work)
- Whether a library version bump should accompany this change or be
handled by release-please
- `canShutdownAnOfflineClient` now has no assertions beyond
`assertDoesNotThrow` — confirm this is sufficient or whether a different
assertion should replace the removed one
- Verify that `OpenFeatureAPI.getInstance().shutdown()` in `@AfterEach`
fully clears event handlers (not just providers)
- The mock setup stubs `isInitialized() → true` and `getStatus() →
VALID`, so `initialize()` returns immediately without waiting on the
`CompletableFuture` — confirm this adequately exercises the provider
lifecycle for these evaluation-focused tests

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Medium risk because it changes the supported OpenFeature SDK version
range, which can affect downstream dependency resolution. Code changes
are limited to test synchronization/cleanup and should not impact
runtime behavior.
> 
> **Overview**
> Raises the lower bound of the `dev.openfeature:sdk` dependency range
from `1.13.0` to `1.16.0`.
> 
> Stabilizes tests by centralizing `OpenFeatureAPI` cleanup via
`@AfterEach` in `LifeCycleTest`, removing an incorrect post-shutdown
data source status assertion, and switching `ProviderTest` evaluations
from async `setProvider()` + polling to synchronous
`setProviderAndWait()` (with additional `LDClientInterface` mock
stubbing to support initialization).
