Remove deprecated org.gradle.util.DistributionLocator usage

[dbwiddis]

Description

The org.gradle.util.DistributionLocator class is deprecated and will be removed in Gradle 9.0.

This PR replaces that usage in build.gradle with wrapper.getDistributionUrl() which implements the identical logic internally (and is not deprecated).

Also added a new line to the min version generation so linelint doesn't complain. :-)

Initial commit only changed build.gradle. Testing the repro case in the linked issue below also upgraded the minimum gradle version to 7.6, which is a good thing as it is required for JDK19+ compatibility.

@dbwiddis could you rebase please? the Gradle's wrapper bits are not needed anymore (we are on 8.0 now), but the dropping DistributionLocator is still valid, thank you.

The backport to 2.x failed:

The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128

To backport manually, run these commands in your terminal:

# Fetch latest updates from GitHub
git fetch
# Create a new working tree
git worktree add ../.worktrees/backport-2.x 2.x
# Navigate to the new working tree
pushd ../.worktrees/backport-2.x
# Create a new branch
git switch --create backport/backport-6212-to-2.x
# Cherry-pick the merged commit of this pull request and resolve the conflicts
git cherry-pick -x --mainline 1 36f5cfe807584177dd4842810734e04a5f7bd4ae
# Push it to GitHub
git push --set-upstream origin backport/backport-6212-to-2.x
# Go back to the original working tree
popd
# Delete the working tree
git worktree remove ../.worktrees/backport-2.x

Then, create a pull request where the base branch is 2.x and the compare/head branch is backport/backport-6212-to-2.x.
