Increase Gradle JVM memory to prevent out of memory error

Fixes #1383

I'm approving on two conditions:

1. Since the Mac builds are still failing, I assume you verified that none of the current failures are due to the OutOfMemoryError?
2. I would like to understand how you arrived at the 6 GB value for the memory. My understanding based on the links you shared is the default is 512 MB, so that is a pretty big jump. Just wondering how you got there and if a smaller max value would be reasonable.

Hi @TrevCraw, I have changed the code and updated it to use 2GB - org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2g -Xms1g -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 . I’ve also revised the code comments accordingly. It’s working fine - you can see successful build steps here: GitHub Actions link

The only failing builds are due to it checking out the main branch, (can be identified by builds which uses Gradle 8.7 since that change is not there in main) as you could see.
