Add warning for Julia version >= v1.11

until #3836 is resolved

Not sure about this. If we allow the experimentation with julia 1.11 also from the user side, we can get bug reports more easily. I would probably just put a warning in the __init__() rather than flat-out not allowing julia 1.11.

[glwagner]

Unfortunately we don't have a great system for development / having a dev branch, so this hard restriction, while desirable for users, will make it hard to test as @simone-silvestri said. We could merge this, tag, and then immediately change it back on main perhaps?

[navidcy]

Let's put a warning in the __init__()?
Something that gives out some information is good enough!

[glwagner]

A warning is nice. You can ask users to report issues. The weird thing is that it works on Mac as far as I know. What issue did @taimoorsohail find?

Hi @glwagner! Still getting set up with ClimaOcean (so some errors may just be due to my learning the language and workflow) but with Julia 1.11.0 I get some circular dependency warnings when trying to run the near_global_ocean_simulation.jl example, followed by an error related to one of said packages. This isn't the case when running on Julia 1.10.8

These errors on compilation are not necessarily a problem. The issue is that some simulations seem to blow up. That indicates there's a numerical difference which is concerning.

For the record, doing this means that users on Julia v1.11 would simply get older versions of Oceananigans. If you really want to disallow Oceananigans on 1.11 entirely you should submit a PR to General to do that, but those PRs are usually questioned a bit. But support for v1.11 would be really helpful for GB

Oh yeah, that makes sense. So it doesn't actually solve the problem. A warning would be better. And best would be to actually address the issue.
