The legacy caching bundle at sources/legacy-caching/dist/ was
gitignored by sources/.gitignore, so CI never included it. Fix by:
- Copying the bundle into sources/dist/legacy-caching/ during build
- Updating the loader path to resolve from dist/legacy-caching/
- Adding legacy module build steps to build-dist action and
ci-update-dist workflow

Recover the pre-extraction caching code (from 7a4e0968~1) into a
standalone module at sources/legacy-caching/. This module bundles
@actions/cache@4.0.5 with the existing patch and adapts the old
caching API to the current CacheService interface.
The cache-service-loader now uses the legacy module by default and
only loads the proprietary vendored module when the license is
accepted. Both paths are wrapped in a LoggingCacheService that
identifies which module is active in logs and the Job Summary.

With licensing changes in v6, a license warning was added to the logs
and job summary. Now, accepting the Build Scan Terms of Use or providing
a Develocity Access Key will mute this warning.
With this change, the caching functionality of `setup-gradle` and
`dependency-submission` is now provided by `gradle-actions-caching`, a
closed-source library distributed under our [Terms of
Use](https://gradle.com/legal/terms-of-use/). The rest of the action
implementation remains open source.
Using `setup-gradle` or `dependency-submission` with caching enabled
involves loading and using the `gradle-actions-caching` component,
requiring acceptance of the [Terms of
Use](https://gradle.com/legal/terms-of-use/). There are no functional
changes to caching provided by these actions: all workflows will
continue to function as before.
The non-caching aspects of action implementation remain open source. By
running these actions with caching disabled they can be used without
ever loading `gradle-actions-caching` or accepting the license terms.
Supporting the caching infrastructure in this project requires a
substantial engineering investment by Gradle Technologies, which we can
sustain thanks to Develocity, our commercial offering. Caching
technologies are a core part of the Develocity offering, and the caching
in `setup-gradle` fits squarely in that space.
This licensing change lets us continue to build advanced capabilities
that go beyond what we would offer as open source. Proper
production-ready Configuration Cache support will be the first
capability. Improving build performance for self-hosted runners will
follow.
We may introduce functionality restrictions in future updates. However,
caching functionality will remain free for public repositories.
We have a long-standing commitment to open source, as maintainers of
Gradle Build Tool, and by [sponsoring the open source
community](https://gradle.com/oss-sponsored-by-develocity/) with free
Develocity licenses. Public repositories are primarily used by open
source projects, and we remain committed to supporting them.
- Implementation of caching logic to save and restore Gradle User Home
content has been removed, replaced by the `gradle-actions-caching`
component.
- The `@actions/caching` library is still used to cache Gradle
distributions that are downloaded and provisioned by `setup-gradle`.
This PR updates to the latest version of `@actions/caching`, and removes
the patch that is no longer required.
- License notices are now displayed in documentation, logs and the
generated Job Summary.
