Yet another Gradle update issue: 7.4 deprecated FileTrees using @SkipWhenEmpty

See original GitHub issue

Gradle 7.4 (release notes [1]) deprecated @SkipWhenEmpty [2], builds (with strict deprecation check) fail with:

> Task <project>:forbiddenApisTest NO-SOURCE
Relying on FileTrees for ignoring empty directories when using @SkipWhenEmpty has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 8.0. Annotate the property classFiles with @IgnoreEmptyDirectories or remove @SkipWhenEmpty. Consult the upgrading guide for further information: https://docs.gradle.org/7.4/userguide/upgrading_version_7.html#empty_directories_file_tree

Looks like all is working fine without any warnings in Gradle 7.4.1: https://jenkins.thetaphi.de/job/Forbidden-APIs-testonly-GradleLatest-Linux/82/console
