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.
Previously, we were adding dependencies to Ant's ClassLoader within
Gradle. It is suspected that this was causing sporadic loader
contraint violations as types that Gradle itself uses (from Commons
Compress) were then available from two different ClassLoaders.
This commit reworks the Ant smoke test to use JavaExec and Ant's
launcher to run the build. This allows us to make the necessary
dependencies available to Ant in an isolated manner. The javac
invocation within Ant is now forked to allow it to find the tools jar
even when the build itself is running on a JRE.
Closes gh-19839
This paves the way for publishing Gradle module metadata once the
problem caused by snapshot versions and our two-step publication
process has been addressed.

This reverts commit b34a311d02 as,
having disabled the publishing of Gradle's module metadata (4f75ab5),
the changes are no longer needed.

Previously, enforcedPlatform dependencies were using to pull in the
constraints defined in spring-boot-dependencies and
spring-boot-parent and applied them strictly so that the constrained
version had to be used. This worked as intended in Spring Boot's own
build but incorrectly enforced those same strict version requirements
on external consumers of Spring Boot's modules.
This commit reworks how Spring Boot defines its internal dependency
management so that platform dependencies are exposed to external
consumers while enforced platform dependencies are using internally.
