Here's another attempt to enable Gradle dependency verification. I've tried to do this a couple of times before (#320, #463) but always ran into issues. With a helper script borrowed from a different project, hopefully this will finally work reliably.
Every time we update Gradle or a dependency, the script I mentioned needs to be run to update the list of checksums. The script runs the build, the tests and the instrumented tests. This is necessary because apparently Gradle is not able to discover all dependencies without actually running the build tasks.
It's a little bit annoying that this Gradle feature is so half-baked that we need a helper script to make things work, but I think it's worth it.
