Fix typo and also add javafx to jdk14

I have only the jdk installed (via zulu distro) and no problem with JavaFX. Thus I wouldn't phrase it that it is really needed (I have no problem with recommend LibericaJDK). (Also the issue linked wasn't about JavaFX - the problem was probably that the resource folder wasn't specified correctly and thus the language files were not found.) |

Notes: * Remove patch for jabrefHost.py which is now included upstream. * Update start script. * Update StartupWMClass in desktop file. * Bump required JDK version to 14. Officially, version 15 is required but 14 still seems to work. I cannot test 13 anymore and there is only a single JDK 13 package in AUR, so let's drop support for that. * In contrast to the devdocs, javafx is not required to build jabref when using gradle. See JabRef/jabref#6679.

Fixes #6678.
Up to now, we claimed that JavaFX magically works. One developer now showed up and said that plain OpenJDK does not work. On my machine, I always had to use LibericaJDK.
This PR makes that explicit.
Note that this change is only needed if developers use IntelliJ's internal build system. When executing JabRef using gradle, the binaries from maven central are used.
Let my quote https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/:
Since we claim that using the internal build system, we should also make the usage of it smooth.
Alternatively, we could keep the JDK installation part as is and move the advanced installation stuff to the IntelliJ part. IMHO, this is more confusing than keeping the JDK setup in one place in the howto.
