Support for gradle BOM

See original GitHub issue

Using a BOM requires specifying dependencies without versions.

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/upgrading_version_4.html#rel5.0:bom_import

:refreshVersions generates versions for such dependencies with a value of none, which is then being resolved and causes an error during sync.

Currently, the only solution is to manually remove all such entries in *.properties after running refreshVersions.

Example BOM configuration:

    implementation platform(Libs.firebase_bom)
    // com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:24.0.0
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config'

For this to function correctly, versions should not be specified for the libraries within the BOM.

Would also be nice of Libs supported libraries without a specific version, but that is less of an issue.

We currently support Gradle 6.4.1+ (we need to write it somewhere and have the plugin tell you if you try a lower version).
