Composite task execution

Task and test execution should happen in the composite to provide the same user experience as in Eclipse. Since dependencies are substituted in the IDE, the user will rightfully expect that they are also substituted when running a Gradle task or Gradle test.

This is currently blocked by the fact that composite build does not have an API for running tasks or tests using just Strings (as we have in Buildship's launch configurations). We need to add an API to reconstruct Launchables and TestOperationDescriptors from a BuildIdentifier and some names.

Won't make it into Gradle 3.3 and thus not into Buildship 2.0

This should work with the latest version of Gradle (6.8-rc-1) and Buildship (link to snapshot update site). Would you mind giving it a try?
