* More Gradle 9 compatibility fix
More fixes after upgrading Gradle from 8.13 to 8.14.3.
Upgraded the gradle-license-report plugin, and handled config leaking
issues.
Researched using gemini web and manually applied the fixes. Gemini-cli
could not find the right solution.
Refactor Gradle scripts to replace usages incompatible with Gradle 9.
PR prepared mostly with gemini-cli, with one issue (project.exec)
researched with gemini web and manually applied.
The actual upgrade to Gradle 9 will be in another PR.
Verified: none of the issues reported in build/reports/problems/problems-report.html
is related to Gradle 9.
* Convert to gradle 7.
* More fixes, regenerated lockfiles.
* Update lockfiles for dependency update.
* Fix show_upgrade_diff for new lockfile format
* Add property for allowInsecureProtocol
Allow us to override the restriction against use of plain HTTP for
communication to dependency repositories. We need this to be able to use a
local proxy for dependency gathering.
* Checking in missing gradle.lockfile
The file name confused the licensee app
(https://github.com/licensee/licensee) that GitHub uses to detect
license files. It thinks this file is also a license file and was not
able to determine is type.
