Setting the `systemTest` Gradle task output as never up-to-date ensures
that all system tests are executed each time they are run in CI. The
`--rerun-tasks` Gradle option that was used previously had the same
effect but also disabled build caching.
Closes gh-29029
A new system test plugin is being made available for running test
suites that should be run less frequently than with every commit, such
as tests that verify Spring Boot compatibility with external
projects. CI pipeline configuration for running system tests is also
provided.
The first system tests verify the behavior of the Spring Boot image
building plugins when building images using Paketo buildpacks.

This commit reworks the CI pipeline to remove the use of Bintray for
publishing to Maven Central. In its place it adds a new
publishToCentral command to the release scripts. This command can be
used to publish a directory tree of artifacts to the Maven Central
gateway hosted by Sonatype.
Publishing consists of 4 steps:
1. Create the staging repository
2. Deploy artifacts to the repository
3. Close the repository
4. Release the repository
The command requires 3 arguments:
1. The type of release being performed
2. Location of a build info JSON file that describes the release
that is to be deployed
3. Root of a directory structure, in Maven repository layout, that
contains the artifacts to be deployed

This commits adds a dedicated configuration to be used when invoking
the github changelog generator. This custom configuration makes sure
to sort dependency upgrades based on the issue title.
