Description

With Gradle it is possible to manage versions and dependencies in gradle files via version catalogs. This allows us to cleanup dependency resolution and move various versions from across the project to a single file.

Dawid Weiss demonstrated in Lucene PR #13484 such a migration together with a few improvements in the gradle build files that could be addressed in this ticket aswell.

The migration include the removal of palantir's consistent versions plugin.
