Background: dependabot only manages dependencies (incl Gradle plugins) in build.gradle[.kts] files. It scans the root build.gradle[.kts] fila and those in submodules referenced in settings.gradle[.kts]. But dependabot does not manage managed plugin dependencies in settings.gradle[.kts]. However, since dependabot is a "dumb search and replace engine", we can use a trick: 1. Have this "dummy" build.gradle.kts file with all managed plugin dependencies. 2. Add an `include()` to this build file in settings.gradle.kts, surrounded with an `if (false)`, so Gradle does _not_ pick it up. 3. Parse this file in our settings.gradle.kts, provide a `ResolutionStrategy` to the plugin dependencies.
