Updated gradle to 7.0.2, jdk to 11

Could you also do the following please?

• Create a new branch v6.x from master branch
• Create v6.x track on snapcraft.io and integrate v6.x branch with this new track
• All master builds will continue to go into edge track as usual (and I'll promote it to stable once builds are complete)

12 days.. and counting... 😞

* Create `v6.x` track on snapcraft.io and integrate `v6.x` branch with this new track

This request would have to be made on the forum but I guess let's first wait for the new branch to get created.

I didn't know that. 🤔 Is there a reason for making branching requests on the forum? Is it because the snap belongs to Snapcrafters?

Do you expect any major breakages in workflows btw? Anything for users to be aware of if they need to switch to this proposed track?

[tunix]

@igorljubuncic - nope. it's just a maintenance track. 6.8.x will probably get security updates etc. so I want to make sure that it still exists.

OK, let's do the following - can you create a forum post asking for a new track creation, tag me please so I can +1 it. Then, we can build and push this to that track. Which one should be the default one btw (6.x or 7.x)?

[tunix]

@igorljubuncic - 7.x should be default. I'm creating the forum thread now. Cheers!

[tunix]

@igorljubuncic - Now that the track is ready, how do we proceed? I was planning the following:

• master branch -> default track (7.x)
• 6.8.x branch -> 6.8.x track

Just for everyone's visibility, we're working on new ways to get more community involvement in Snapcrafters, so we'll come back with some interesting news very soon. Hence, a brief pause of this PR.
