The Google Auth version is getting quite old. The new version pulls in
newer Guava and Auto Value. Two require Java 8: Google Auth since 1.x,
Guava since 31.x. Google Auth only needs Auto Value 1.8.2, but this
bumps to the latest, so all three are at their latest versions.
Oracle's Premier Support for Java 7 ended in July 2019. Per gRFC P5,
dropping support for the only release. Android is able to desugar many
Java 8 language features.
These changes make the build compatible with Gradle 7, except for
Android which requires plugin updates.
I removed animalsniffer from binder because it did nothing (as there
were no signatures) and it was failing after setting toolVersion. It
failed because animalsniffer is only compatible with java plugin. After
this change I put the withId(animalsniffer) loading inside the
withId(java) to avoid a plugin ordering failure. That made it safe again
for binder to load animalsniffer, but it is still best to remove the
plugin from binder as it is misleading.
I did not upgrade Android plugin versions as newer versions (even 3.6)
require dealing with androidx (#8421).
- Use gradle configuration `api` for dependencies that are part of grpc public api signatures.
- Replace deprecated gradle configurations `compile`, `testCompile`, `runtime` and `testRuntime`.
- With minimal change in dependencies: If we need dep X and Y to compile our code, and if X transitively depends on Y, then our build would still pass even if we only include X as `compile`/`implementation` dependency for our project. Ideally we should include both X and Y explicitly as `implementation` dependency for our project, but in this PR we don't add the missing Y if it is previously missing.
The class is still used internally, so we move it to context's tests for
it to be reused. To avoid a circular dependency with context's tests
depending on core's tests, StaticTestingClassLoader was also moved to
context's tests.
This is driven by a need to modernize DeadlineSubject for newer versions
of Truth, but the newer versions of Truth update Guava. To avoid leaking
the Guava update to all users of grpc-testing, we're removing the
Subject. In our internal tests we can update the Truth dependency with
less issue.

The new plugin uses a newer version of animalsniffer, allows overriding
the animalsniffer version used, and has up-to-date handling. The
up-to-date handling cuts fully incremental parallel build times in half,
from 5.5s to 2.7s.
The previous plugin was supposed to be verifying tests. However, either
it wasn't verifying them or its verification was broken.
The Context API is not particularly gRPC-specific, and will be used by
Census as its context propagation mechanism.
Removed all dependencies to make it easy for other libraries to depend
on.
