This PR adds an automatic gradle format checker and reformats all the *.gradle files. After this, new changes to *.gradle files will fail to build if not in good format, just like checkStyle failure.
The new jmh plugin fixes a warning for the newer version of Gradle.
The new AppEngine plugin still produces a warning, but updating it

The new android-maven plugin fixes a build problem with the newer
Gradle.
The Visual Studio fixes were necessary starting ~4.4.
