`compileJava.dependsOn(processResources)` is not enough to ensure the
correct behavior. Using `dependsOn` only affects the execution order
(`processResources` before `compileJava`) but not the up-to-date check
of `compileJava`. After modifying
`META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json`, the
`processResouces` task will considered out-of-date and will be
re-executed, but after that `compileJava` will still be considered
up-to-date which causes the changes not to be merged into
`META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json`
With this change the up-do-date check of `compileJava` is affected,
too. Therefore, it will correctly re-execute the
configuration-processor when
`META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` was changed.

In general we do not recommend using @PropertySource due to them being
added to the environment too late for auto-configuration to use them. This
commit updates the documentation to mention them in the list of external
sources along with a note.
Closes gh-18900
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.
