Gradle is not honoring status attribute for buildscript classpath dependencies when using plugin markers

[rpalcolea]

Current Behavior

When setting org.gradle.status for buildscript classpath dependencies via AttributeContainer, it results in a deprecation and not honoring this opinion.

Expected Behavior

Setting org.gradle.status attribute for buildscript classpath dependencies should be honored and not result in a deprecation when using plugin marker dependencies

Steps to Reproduce

Given the following build file:

buildscript {
    configurations.all { configuration ->
        configuration.withDependencies { dependencies ->
            dependencies.each { ModuleDependency dependency ->
                dependency.attributes({ AttributeContainer attributeContainer ->
                    attributeContainer.attribute(Attribute.of("org.gradle.status", String.class), "release")
                })
            }
        }
    }
}

plugins {
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.9.22'
}

When running ./gradlew bE (or any task), you will see the following:

> Configure project :
Cannot set attributes for dependency "org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm:org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm.gradle.plugin:1.9.22": it was probably created by a plugin using internal APIs

This only happens in 8.7

Similarly, if you have something like

buildscript {
    configurations.all { configuration ->
        configuration.withDependencies { dependencies ->
            dependencies.each { ModuleDependency dependency ->
                dependency.attributes({ AttributeContainer attributeContainer ->
                    attributeContainer.attribute(Attribute.of("org.gradle.status", String.class), "snapshot")
                })
            }
        }
    }
}

plugins {
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.+'
}

The status attribute is used correctly in 8.6 but in 8.7 it results in picking up a version

8.6 output

It appears some work has to happen in
