Update `build.gradle` files to ensure that `junit-platform-launcher` is
a `testRuntimeOnly` dependency. This ensures that tests can be run from
Eclipse.
Closes gh-25074
Unfortunately, while redundant for new applications, removing the
leading slash adversely affected existing application upon upgrades as
it caused Liquibase to re-apply every change log.
Closes gh-20177
Update all dependencies declarations to use the form `scope(reference)`
rather than `scope reference`.
Prior to this commit we declared dependencies without parentheses unless
we were forced to add them due to an `exclude`.
Replace Gradle single quote strings with the double quote form
whenever possible. The change helps to being consistency to the
dependencies section where mostly single quotes were used, but
occasionally double quotes were required due to `${}` references.
