When testing with Gradle 7.6, junit-platform-launcher won't be
on the test runtime classpath unless it's declared as a dependency.
When testing with Gradle 8.x the dependency is added implicitly but
starting with Gradle 8.3 relying on this will result in a warning.
When junit-platform-launcher is absent, a failure occurs when testing
with Gradle as the class loader structure is such that JUnit tries
to load any test execution listeners, finds the listener declared in
spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure but cannot then load the
implemented TestExecutionListener interface.
This problem is addressed by augmenting the component metadata for
spring-boot-starter-test to add a dependency on
junit-platform-launcher. This addresses the problem with
spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure while also addressing a warning
with Gradle 8.3+.

When spring-boot-gradle-plugin is using GradleRunner, it needs to be
configured with a custom plugin classpath to account for the fact
that our Gradle plugin is on the classpath of the system classloader
but some of the other plugins would only be available on a
Gradle-created classloader. This imbalance cause class loading
problems as code in spring-boot-gradle-plugin can't see types at
runtime that are only available on the Gradle-created classloader.
To overcome this, we need to configure the GradleRunner with a custom
plugin classpath that contains both spring-boot-gradle-plugin and all
of the other plugins that are used in its various integration tests.
Previously, this was done in GradleBuild that's used by both
spring-boot-gradle-plugin and spring-boot-image-tests. This caused
a problem as spring-boot-image-tests does not have the
above-described problem and trying to correct it did not work leaving
tests that use spring-boot-gradle-plugin unable to see other plugins
such that the native image plugin.
This commit reworks the customization of the plugin classpath so that
it's only done in spring-boot-gradle-plugin's integration tests.
