grpc-netty is still really useful, but for most users who aren't doing
anything advanced using grpc-netty-shaded is much safer from a
dependency basis.
grpc-netty-shaded has seen more usage and has shown itself to be stable
and reduce the number of conflicts due to Netty versions.
This opens up the ability of dependency locking and the now-stable Maven
Publish Plugin. Also failOnVersionConflict no longer needs to be
commented out for the dependency insight report.
This PR adds an automatic gradle format checker and reformats all the *.gradle files. After this, new changes to *.gradle files will fail to build if not in good format, just like checkStyle failure.
The new jmh plugin fixes a warning for the newer version of Gradle.
The new AppEngine plugin still produces a warning, but updating it
anyway so people know that upgrading the plugin doesn't fix the problem.
The new android-maven plugin fixes a build problem with the newer
Gradle.
The Visual Studio fixes were necessary starting ~4.4.

describes the change in behavior.
There's nothing immediately being used as part of this update. It's just
to keep us current and to get us over that Visual Studio change hump.
