The `force_build_tools` config option was added a long time ago to
brute force the _build-tools_ version by trying to replace the value
in `build.gradle` files. This is never something that should be used
in production, since the app's build metadata should specify this kind
of thing. And now that we're moving towards _androguard_ for
everything except fdroid build and fdroid publish, _build-tools_ will
no longer even be used in the other commands.
This expands the gradle wrapper shell script used by the buildserver for
usage outside the buildserver environment. It also allows downloading
whitelisted versions of gradle if they are not yet deployed to the
buildserver by simply upsating the copy of fdroidserver (in contrast to
having to reprovision the whole buildserver).
We first move the buildserver/gradle shell script to the repo root
as gradlew-fdroid, as it's an fdroid specific gradle wrapper.
We also now sync it inside the build VM before each build.
We then add a list of whitelisted gradle distributions taken from the
makebuildserver script.
The script additionally now reads two env vars which tell it where to
expect installed versions of gradle and where it might store downloaded
gradle .zip files. Both of those are configurable from config.py. As the
first should normally just be a subdir of the second it's not exposed in
the example config.py but only used by the buildserver config.py.
Default config now uses this internal gradle wrapper but a path to a
custom wrapper or specific gradle distribution can still be set from
config.py.

for java_version in ('7', '8', '9'):
the code look for java version without the 1. in front, after getting a
bunch of error message that JDK could't be found, investigating the code
and documentation I discovered my configuration was ignored because of
this and realized the example was wrong
The currently included Qt has known security issues and is outdated. This
can now be replaced by downloading and installing the Qt installer using
the sudo= build field. @relan's provisioner system will also replace this
once that's done. There are only two apps that currently use the Qt stuff:
* csd.qtproject.minesweeper
* org.openorienteering.mapper
