Fix compile error in build.gradle.kts on Gradle 7.6

The build file (build.gradle.kts) does not compile on Gradle 7.6-rc-3:

  Line 300: implementation(project)
	^ None of the following functions can be called with the arguments supplied: 
	    public operator fun DependencyAdder.invoke(dependencyNotation: CharSequence): Unit defined in org.gradle.kotlin.dsl

See, e.g., this build.

I’ve pushed #687 which provides more standard syntax (with the caveat that I don’t have experience with Kotlin, but it’s what I’d do in groovy!)

Thank you @carterkozak! 🙏🏾 I just pulled main to apply your proposal as given on Mastodon and was surprised to already see it in action. Very cool!

@jvandort That looks like the cleaner syntax but it only works on Gradle 7.6, not on 7.5 yet and we need to build on both. (Because the “real” builds run with 7.5 and experimental ones with 7.6 to preview problems like these.) We can switch to the cleaner project() as soon as we rely on 7.6. 👍🏾
