ResourceHandler and / or TextResourceFactory as injectable services

[Vampire]

The subject says it all, would be nice if you could inject ResourceHandler or both and use them in a task or plugin.

@gradle/configuration-cache Could you take a look? These are currently available on Project but that would mean they cannot be used always.
It looks like the internal FileOperations service offers them though. Maybe it needs a public counterpart?

Any updates? I hope I can use it directly on Settings.

For now I use the below code as a workaround.

val fileOperations = serviceOf<FileOperations>()
fileOperations.resources

This feature request is in the backlog of the relevant team and is prioritized by them.

We're uncertain about the future of the TextResource in general after migrating to the Provider API, see also #25973.

Hi @mlopatkin, please also consider #25237. We want to make ResourceHandler a public API because we want a more convenient way to download files. Also, it would be best if it could support configuration cache!
