Migrate from gradle-build-action to setup-gradle GitHub Action (#803)

A new way of consuming Gradle Actions is coming in v3.
There are no significant changes to the action logic,
the v3 version and the new action is a drop-in replacement.

Setting up AND running Gradle in the same step is deprecated,
so the steps are split into two: setup-gradle + `run:`.

Because `run:` uses different shells on different OSs,
the `-Pa=b` Gradle params are moved to `ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_a: b`
environment variables, because that approach is fully cross platform.

Removed `cache: 'gradle'` from setup-java,
because setup-gradle is doing the same, and more.
