Add open-source 'basic' cache provider and revamp licensing documentation (#930)

## Summary

- **New `basic` cache provider**: Adds an open-source (MIT-licensed)
caching implementation built on `@actions/cache` as an alternative to
the proprietary Enhanced Caching. Users can opt in with `cache-provider:
basic` on both `setup-gradle` and `dependency-submission` actions.
- **Revamped licensing & distribution docs**: Replaces the verbose
licensing notice block (previously shown in README, docs, and logs) with
a friendlier callout and a new dedicated
[DISTRIBUTION.md](./DISTRIBUTION.md) covering component licensing, usage
tiers, data privacy ("Safe Harbor"), and opt-out instructions.
- **Improved messaging**: Enhanced Caching and Basic Caching each
display concise, informative log messages and job summary notes instead
of the previous wall-of-text license warning.
- **New integration tests**: Adds `integ-test-basic-cache-provider.yml`
workflow that seeds and verifies the basic cache provider across
platforms, plus unit tests for `BasicCacheService` and `getCacheService`
selection logic.
- **CI workflow reorganization**: Dependency-submission integration
tests extracted into their own reusable suite
(`suite-integ-test-dependency-submission.yml`); sample project tests
moved into the caching suite.

 The state will be restored from the cache during the first `setup-gradle` step for any workflow job, and cache entries will be written back to the cache at the end of the job after all Gradle executions have been completed.
 
+### Selecting a cache provider
+
+The `setup-gradle` action offers two caching components, offered under different license terms and with different features.
+See [DISTRIBUTION.md](../DISTRIBUTION.md) for more details.
+
+You choose which cache to use via the `cache-provider` input:
+
+- **`enhanced`** (default): Uses the full-featured commercial `gradle-actions-caching` library. Provides advanced features like fine-grained cache entries and intelligent cache cleanup.
+- **`basic`**: A fully open-source caching implementation built on the standard GitHub Actions cache (`@actions/cache`). Caches the `~/.gradle/caches` and `~/.gradle/wrapper` directories using a cache key based on your Gradle build files (same strategy as `actions/setup-java` with `cache: gradle`).
+
+```yaml
+# Use the open-source basic cache provider
+cache-provider: basic
+```

 ### Disabling caching
 
 Caching is enabled by default. You can disable caching for the action as follows:
