We should:

• Produce a better error message
• Teach doctor how to check for this issue.

[yyoon]

So manually installing a newer version of gradle seems to have helped, but this is odd because AFAIK gradle wrapper approach shouldn't require a gradle installation on the machine.

[jakobr-google]

The gradle wrapper approach doesn't depend on a gradle installation, but only if we actually add the gradle wrapper files to the template. Coming up.

[jakobr-google]

We decided to depend on the system gradle, so we need flutter doctor to make sure you have the right version installed. Closing this one as dup of #8131.
