This includes removing (hopefully temporarily) the gradle-lint plugin as
it is incompatible with various Gradle versions (see
https://github.com/nebula-plugins/gradle-lint-plugin/issues/393). This
is somewhat unfortunate since the plugin is useful for removing unused
dependencies, though with the relatively small amount of Gradle code we
write hopefully it will not be missed much. If Nebula changes their
code to be compatible with Gradle 8+, we can re-add it easily.
This upgrade means we can remove the code added in 342051e1.
This is an 'easy' upgrade that requires a minor change in
common/build.gradle and the removal of an unnecessary import in buildSrc.
Gradle 7.4 and above has breaking changes that break the latest nebula lint plugin. We may have to wait a while.
