Related to meta issue #13306
Release Manager builds were failing as `downloadEs` task was being
needlessly run during `rake artifact:all` task. When run with
`RELEASE=1`. this was causing build failures due to the non-availability
of Elasticsearch release artifacts. This commit aims to avoid running
the `downloadES` task when it is not needed, continuing the work done
in #11914
This commit also removes code that was repeated in different parts of
the build script.
* Use task avoidance API in gradle scripts
This commit uses the task avoidance api (tasks.register vs task.create/
task DSL), as recommended since Gradle 5.1
This should reduce the execution of unnecessary tasks in build jobs, and
hopefully improve build resiliency and execution time.
* Backport of #11742. Not a clean backport as 7.x had not previously been upgraded to 5.6.4 as master had been.
* Update gradle version to 6.3
Gradle versions prior to 6.3 cannot run under JDK14.
This commit upgrades the version of Gradle to 6.3, and removes all deprecation warnings that can currently be removed.
Changes include:
* Increase gradle memory to 2g
* Increase gradle memory in the license check job to 2g
* Replace use of `testCompile`
* Replace `runtime` with `runtimeOnly`
* Remove`compile` depedencies from gradle files
* Replace deprecated archive methods
* Fix dependencies report build
* Make jruby dependencies 'api', fix archiveVersion
* Set `duplicatesStrategy` for all tasks of type Copy
* Use `configureEach` for global 'withType' calls
** Use the recommended Tasks API calls
(https://blog.gradle.org/preview-avoiding-task-configuration-time)
* Run `./gradlew wrapper` earlier to improve caching
* Use copy with chown for resources that need to be run during `./gradlew wrapper`
