build-info-extractor-gradle: use container api for configuration cach…

[martin-walsh]

Opening this PR as a conversation starter around support for new --configuration-cache flag in Gradle.

Essentially, if a project uses any plugins which do not defer creation of Tasks, a user cannot make use of configuration cache.

The main changes required are to use the lazy init apis i.e. register vs create & named vs findByName.

The code looks like it requires more changes than I have made here so far, but before I do so, it's best to discuss.

See:
