Build changes

The version of gradle used to build the project was upgraded during this release cycle to support building with JDK 21. The upgrade required an upgrade to the shadow plugin, which builds the uber jars, such as toolsUI.jar and netcdfAll.jar. The new shadow plugin creates the jar files under build/distributions/ (previously they were created under build/libs/).
