transitive = false maps to a wildcard exclusion in the published pom.
Unfortunately, this causes problems with Maven as any dependency
on one of the transitive = false modules then has all of its
dependencies excluded, even when it appears elsewhere in the
dependency graph without any exclusions.
Gradle is not affected as it requires an exclusion to be declared
on every route to a dependency for it to be effective. Maven is
affected as it requires the exclusion to be present on only one
route.
As htttpclient 4.x is not supported anymore by `RestTemplate`, this
commit changes such dependencies to httpclient5 instead. In some cases,
the httpclient 4.x was transitively brought by a non-Spring dependency.

Update `build.gradle` files to ensure that `junit-platform-launcher` is
a `testRuntimeOnly` dependency. This ensures that tests can be run from
Eclipse.
Closes gh-25074
Update all dependencies declarations to use the form `scope(reference)`
rather than `scope reference`.
Prior to this commit we declared dependencies without parentheses unless
we were forced to add them due to an `exclude`.
Replace Gradle single quote strings with the double quote form
whenever possible. The change helps to being consistency to the
dependencies section where mostly single quotes were used, but
occasionally double quotes were required due to `${}` references.
