Upgrade to gradle 8.14-rc-2

Description

I was trying to do a fresh import of Lucene into Intellij 2025.1 when it threw

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl cannot be cast to class java.lang.String (org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl is in unnamed module of loader org.gradle.internal.classloader.VisitableURLClassLoader @2280cdac; java.lang.String is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')
    in ToolingStreamApiUtils.writeCollection(ToolingStreamApiUtils.java:145)
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
java.io.NotSerializableException: org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultFilePropertyFactory$FixedFile
org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultFilePropertyFactory$FixedFile

Looks like the issue is related to gradle/gradle#32606 and is fixed in gradle 8.14. Raising this PR if we would want to upgrade to 8.14

I would like to wait until the official release is made (not rc).

I'll mark this for draft and will pick up once 8.14 is fully released.

Don't get me wrong - please feel free to provide a pull request that passes with the rc release, this will make things easier! I just don't think we should merge it until the final release is available. If you browse the history of commits, you'll see what needs to be adjusted upon gradle upgrade - there are a couple of things (and I'm sure some things won't work anymore because gradle keeps banning what we liked to use...).

Thanks! I'll spend some time testing and seeing what else might need to change.
