Replace Gradle APIs deprecated for removal in Gradle 10

[codeconsole]

Problem

Applying the Grails Gradle plugins under Gradle 9.x emits deprecation warnings for three APIs scheduled for removal in Gradle 10, so every consuming build prints "Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 10." even when the app's own build scripts are fully migrated.

Observed from a Grails 8.0.0-M4 app on Gradle 9.6.1 with --warning-mode all -Dorg.gradle.deprecation.trace=true; the traces point at:

• The Project.getProperties method has been deprecated. — project.properties['…'] lookups in GrailsGradlePlugin (excludeDependencies, configureProfile, createBuildPropertiesTask, configureGroovy)
• The Project.container(Class, Closure) method has been deprecated. — TestPhasesGradlePlugin.apply
• The DomainObjectCollection.findAll(Closure) method has been deprecated. — GrailsGradlePlugin.configureMicronaut

Fix

Like-for-like replacements with the documented substitutes:

• project.properties['name'] → project.findProperty('name') — same resolution chain (project object property → extra properties → gradle properties), no behavior change.
• project.container(TestPhase) { … } → project.objects.domainObjectContainer(TestPhase) { … } — the replacement named by the deprecation message. The class is @CompileStatic, so the closure statically coerces to NamedDomainObjectFactory<TestPhase>.
• getAllDependencies().findAll { … } as boolean → getAllDependencies().any { … } — the call was only an existence check, and any is a plain Groovy Iterable method rather than the deprecated live-collection API.

Verified with :grails-gradle-plugins:compileGroovy and the module test suite.
