Running into problems building the code due to having a non-standard build setup (due to Gradle being pure undiluted excrement).

• [x] Fix issue with fdroidserver
• [x] Fix issue with version code
• [x] Fix issue with missing gradle wrapper
• [x] Fix issue with extra jars upsetting "suss"

First issue: The fdroidserver package has a bug. It was first documented here two years ago, and apparently fixed:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/docker-executable-fdroidserver/-/issues/15

But now with the most recent fdroidserver package from git, the problem is back:

Second issue: We put the version code in gradle.properties to make it possible for external tools to do version updates without having to involve Gradle. fdroid doesn't know how to extract the version code:

2024-09-19 17:49:14,260 ERROR: ...checkupdate failed for com.io7m.exfilac : Couldn't find any version information
2024-09-19 17:49:14,261 DEBUG: Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise FDroidException(_("Couldn't find any version information"))
fdroidserver.exception.FDroidException: Couldn't find any version information

Fixed: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3383

Third issue: fdroid deletes the bundled version of Gradle included in the repository, meaning that the build then fails (because make/Make.java expects ./gradlew to exist).

Fixed: Run java make/Make.java as a prebuild step, and then assume the rest of the build uses Gradle. This seems to work.

Now the build fails because there are extra jar files left over:

I don't know why any of these are problems.
