Daz DeBoer ff9ae24c39 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 setup-gradle action

The setup-gradle action can be used to configure Gradle for optimal execution on any platform supported by GitHub Actions.

This replaces the previous gradle/gradle-build-action, which now delegates to this implementation.

The recommended way to execute any Gradle build is with the help of the Gradle Wrapper, and the examples assume that the Gradle Wrapper has been configured for the project. See this example if your project doesn't use the Gradle Wrapper.

Example usage

name: Build

on:
  push:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout sources
      uses: actions/checkout@v6
    - name: Setup Java
      uses: actions/setup-java@v5
      with:
        distribution: 'temurin'
        java-version: 17
    - name: Setup Gradle
      uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v5
    - name: Build with Gradle
      run: ./gradlew build

See the full action documentation for more advanced usage scenarios.
