Gradle build

The rationale behind Falco's Gradle build setup — why things are structured the way they are, not just what the build files contain:

• Build Setup — module structure, why the root project has no sources, why falco-bom is excluded from the standard java-library configuration and how it gets java-platform instead.
• Versioning and Releases — the single line Release Please rewrites, and how snapshot versions are derived from it.
• Dependency Management — why repositories live only in settings.gradle.kts, notable version catalog entries, and why Minestom, fastutil and adventure-nbt are compileOnly.
• Publishing — how the four published modules share one repository configuration, and why falco-bom publishes differently from the three library modules.
• Testing and Javadoc — the -Werror doclint policy and the test heap size needed for the chunk loader tests.
• Benchmarks and Demo — what falco-benchmarks and falco-demo are for, and why neither is ever published.
