AGP 8.1 is using kotlin 1.8.20
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/buildSrc/+/refs/tags/studio-2022.3.1/base/dependencies.properties#108
So, We should use same kotlin version with AGP.

Gradle 8.4 uses Kotlin 1.9.10 and it seems the gradle's version is used even if we specify 1.8.20 manually.
https://docs.gradle.org/8.4/release-notes.html
So I'll downgrade Gradle to 8.2.1 which uses Kotlin 1.8.20.

Gradle 8.4 uses Kotlin 1.9.10
This means that Gradle 8.4 is using kotlin 1.9.10 to compiling kotlin dsl script and gradle kotlin dsl library.
And AGP 8.1 is using gradle tooling api 8.0 as minimum requirements of gradle version.
In our in-house cases, we try to use the latest toolchain.
But in the world of Github, not all devs use only the latest toolchain.
Therefore, to keep a reasonable user pool, it is recommended to use an slightly older version of Gradle.
In my opinion, Gradle 8.2.1 seems appropriate since it has been released for half a year.
Update fundamental libraries as following:
Gradle: 8.2.1 (Not 8.4 because it internally uses Kotlin 1.9.10)
AGP: 8.1.3
Kotlin: 1.8.20
In addition, fix to not use APIs that have been deprecated by the update.
Breaking changes
VersionNumberapi in Gradle becomes private, so use Semantic Versioning 2.0 for version text parsing and comparison.Note
Task.getProject()in task phase is also deprecated, but I'll address it on another PR.
