Update to Gradle 8 (Kotlin#3966)

* Update Gradle to 8.5 and all the Gradle plugins where required
* Migrate away from deprecated Gradle API
* Migrate to jvmToolchain, use 11 as the main one
* Apply workarounds for new Gradle constraints, mostly related to implicit dependencies
* Fix a race in CoroutineScheduler.shutdown (exposed by toolchain update):
    * If the thread is in 'NEW' state, then 'isAlive: false' and 'join' returns immediately, meaning that there is a race between thread start and shutdown sequence that makes post-join assertion sporadically fail
* Restructure our build scripts to use .kts conventions only
* Get rid of the deprecated KGP target preset API
* Use the default source-set hierarchy for MPP
