Test with KGP 2.1.0-RC

compilation is failing with:

Probably there is some issue with kotlinx.serialization compiler plugin usage when using kotlin.compiler.runViaBuildToolsApi. KGP version = 2.1.0-RC-330 Kotlin compiler version used to compile code = 2.0.20 I've tried to set all different versions of kotlinx.serialization plugins, but none of them work.

Not sure where the issue comes from, but probably the easiest way will be to drop kotlinx.serialization usage from DGPv2 so that there will be less moving parts :) It's possible to replace it:

1. or with just runtime kotlinx.serialization usage via JsonObject
2. or kotlinx.serialization can be fully dropped as it's used only for single class which could be easily replaced with just a txt file with 4 lines :)

Note: last commit adds a workaround: https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/pull/3898/commits/d43e162bdbe4bfd05338b679ada91b28385604c1

with applied workaround, there are several failed DGPv2 functional tests

DGPv2 uses kotlinx.serialization for encoding the parameters for the HTML and Versioning Dokka plugins, but yes, I agree it could be removed. It'd help keep the buildscripts cleaner.

I've extracted removing compiler plugin into separate PR (https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/pull/3899). Also, @adam-enko, it would be nice if you could take a look on the reason of test failures in this PR. E.g here is the build scan from this GA build. Tests failed for dokka-gradle-plugin only. Not urgent, but would be nice to know the reason

1. Some tests are failing because there's extraneous logging in build scripts

   The test uses a custom Dokka plugin to cause Dokka to log info/warn/error logs, but it's compiled with an incompatible Kotlin version (the embedded Kotlin version).

2. Some tests are failing because AGP
