The newest version of Gradle broke parts of the current build. Some deprecated features were also still in use. This PR tries to fix some of those. Importing and applying scripts directly has been discouraged for a while. The same is true for using a `subprojects` block to share configuration. The recommended way to do this are convention plugins. It is straightforward for the most part to convert the existing scripts to convention plugins. The contents of the `subprojects` block can also be applied in a convention plugin. To make fixing the remaining issues easier, and help in future development, the convention plugins are then converted to Kotlin. The code completion and better typing help find and fix issues. Some small simplifications have been made, where a direct API is available instead of workarounds. A bigger change of this kind is changing dependencies from `implementation` to `api` directly instead of rewriting their scope later directly in the Maven POM.
