Upgrade build dependencies for the project

- Upgrade to Gradle 8.11
- Upgrade to Android Gradle Plugin 8.7.2
- Remove deprecated android.defaults.buildfeatures.buildconfig=true
  gradle property, it is not needed as mastodon/build.gradle already
  sets android { buildFeatures { buildConfig true } }
- Move plugin repository definition to settings.gradle to match latest
  Gradle practices
- Move to using plugin {} mechanism to add Android Gradle Plugin to
  match the latest Gradle practices
- Remove root project clean task as this project does not produce any
  real artifacts, it seems to be leftover from original Android new
  project template
