Previously, our Gradle plugin was not tested against Gradle 6.0,
a number of deprecation warnings were output when using the plugin
with Gradle 6, and some functionality related to the application
plugin did not work as expected.
This commit tests the plugin against Gradle 6. It also avoids calling
deprecated APIs. The plugin is compatibile against Gradle 4.10 where
the deprecated APIs' replacements are not available so reflection is
used to call the replcaements. Lastly, the way in which the base name
of the boot distribution that is created when the application plugin
is applied has been modified to ensure that it is effective when using
Gradle 6.

This commit is a continuation of the work done in 987a5f81. In
addition to developers and licenses that are covered in the earlier
commit, a number of other settings are still inherited from the
starter parent. This commit updates the documentation to show them
being overridden as well.
Closes gh-18532
Publishing to Maven Central requires spring-boot-starter-parent to
declare its license and developers. When a user then uses
spring-boot-starter-parent as their project's parent, these values
are inherited and this is almost certainly unwanted.
This commit updates the documentation to recommend and demonstrate
overriding the license and developers that are inherited from the
starter parent.

This commit adds an index page for the multi-file HTML version, and
fixed a couple of casing issues (significant words starting with lower
case in headings).
While researching how to get the content from index-docinfo.xml into
the output, I came across the notion of a colophon, which is a good name
for the information in that file. I have consequently changed "Legal"
(which I never liked but couldn't think of a better term for at the
time) to "Colophon".

I made a complete editing pass plus another pass to see where I could add more links, both within the document and to other parts of Spring. The result was a thorough edit (though I'm sure I missed things, purely due to the size of the thing).
Remove extraneous white space and adjusted the length of non-code lines
to be as close to 90 characters (but not over 90 characters) as
possible.
Update a couple things I missed in the editing pass, too.
Closes gh-10892
