Add better support for April Fools snapshots

[SizableShrimp]

The biggest addition is adding 2 new fields to BranchSpec to make it easier to define April Fools snapshots from a config json. The demo branch_config.json file in the repository is not really useful, as it assumes that all April Fools versions should be diffed from each other. This makes no sense since each snapshot is forked from the snapshot cycle for that year.

Instead, I propose adding 2 fields: includeVersions and excludeVersions

• includeVersions basically has the sole purpose of opting in to specific "special" versions as categorized by SRGUtils, but it's primarily meant for use w/ April Fools snapshots. It doesn't actually add any extra versions, but I'm not sure how to better name it to reflect this.
• excludeVersions lets you exclude specific versions from the list of versions, rather than having to define all versions you want use. This allows us to have April Fools snapshots with the full diff history of all snapshots/versions before it, while accounting for the fact that the April Fools snapshot may have been forked from an earlier snapshot in the dev cycle than the snapshot released right before the April Fools one.
  • For example, this year's (2024) April Fools snapshot appears to be based on 24w12a according to coehlrich, but 24w13a also exists. Because SRGUtils orders the April Fools snapshots based on their year and week and not based on where it actually is forked from the dev cycle, it means that by default, Snowblower will try to diff from 24w12a -> 24w13a -> 24w14potato. This will cause the 24w14potato commit to be polluted by undoing all of the things added in 24w13a.

Besides the main addition, I also fixed/added some miscellaneous things:

• Added settings.gradle file with the foojay resolver convention plugin for JDK resolution. This just makes it easier to import into an IDE if anyone does that for better inspection (like I did while testing my Snowblower changes). In this rare case, the JDK was bumped to 21 in the latest snapshot, and I didn't have it downloaded, so Gradle failed to import since the resolver plugin wasn't specified.
• Fixed a bug when calculating the end version to generate to, if it is omitted from the CLI / config. See relevant discord messages here.
• Changed the initial commit generation code to specifically copy gradle/wrapper instead of gradle, to account for the fact that this project might use libs.versions.toml (or some other file in gradle but not gradle/wrapper?) in the future, which shouldn't be included in the Snowblower jar nor the final output
• Clarified the error messages for when the start/end version do not exist in the calculated version list
• Fixed parsing of --cfg parameter on the CLI to actually support file: URIs
• Update Gradle to 8.7

Here's a demo on how to test with the 2024 April Fools snapshot using this config.json:

• We can generate the full history starting from 1.14.4 up until the 2024 April Fools snapshot using this command:
  --output output --cfg https://gist.githubusercontent.com/SizableShrimp/ab8a7882a91978bbd8eb96f2a467f2bc/raw/b8e5f4ed5a61f71b51c66f7094468d111319aa41/config.json --branch april-fools/2024 --start-over-if-required
• For the purposes of easy testing, you can specify the start version as 24w12a to only have to decompile 2 MC versions:
  --output output --cfg https://gist.githubusercontent.com/SizableShrimp/ab8a7882a91978bbd8eb96f2a467f2bc/raw/b8e5f4ed5a61f71b51c66f7094468d111319aa41/config.json --branch april-fools/2024 --start-over-if-required --start-ver 24w12a

Assuming that we do go ahead with this idea, I would suggest we maintain a config.json URL somewhere. Every time a new April Fools snapshot comes out, we can add on to this config.json. Then, we can change the TeamCity configuration to specify this config json in every run. We would have a template (or whatever the TC equivalent is) that lets us do one-off builds running the standard Snowblower template and has a parameter to specify the branch name. This template thing would be run after having added the relevant configuration for that branch to the config.json. The branch name would follow some consistent format for each April Fools snapshot. I propose april-fools/XXXX where XXXX is the year.

We could also retroactively do this for every older April Fools snapshot that has mojmaps just for fun to be able to poke at the code whenever.
