Add Gradle build that delegates to existing Ant build

Adds a top-level Gradle build that imports the existing Ant build to enable a gradual migration to Gradle while still using Ant for current tasks. Configures Ant to run JUnit (including ant-junit4) and exposes select Gradle properties to Ant; renames conflicting Ant targets to avoid collisions and makes the Gradle build task delegate to the Ant build target. Also adds placeholder Gradle files for subprojects and bumps the configured Gradle SDK version.
