Gradle should use its own install as a source for artifact files reuse

[eskatos]

The Gradle distribution contains artifact files for a number of modules (e.g. asm, http-client, xerces, aws-java, commons-*, kotlin etc...). When a build depends on the same artifacts as shipped with Gradle, downloading the artifact files could be avoided.

This issue is about augmenting artifact reuse, see https://docs.gradle.org/5.6.2/userguide/dependency_cache.html#sub:cache_artifact_reuse

Expected Behavior

Gradle reuses the artifact files from its own install when they match.

Current Behavior

Gradle downloads artifact files that are already bundled in its own install.
