Fix API compatibility workflow failing when building previous version (#2694)

The workflow is currently failing for the jpms-test module:
> Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.13.0:compile (default-compile) on project jpms-test:
> Fatal error compiling: error: bad value for --module-version option: 'JAPICMP-OLD'

Therefore this commit changes the dummy version number format.
