Ludy 8094765bab build(licenses): Module-specific license. Add dependency overrides. (#7049)
# Description of Changes

This change adds a version-scoped override mechanism for dependencies
whose published metadata does not expose a detectable license.

- Added `app/license-overrides.json` with verified Apache License 2.0
metadata for:
  - `com.hubspot.immutables:immutables-exceptions:1.9`
  - `com.hubspot:algebra:1.5`
- Added `ModuleLicenseOverrideFilter` as custom `buildSrc` logic for the
Gradle dependency license report plugin.
- Applied overrides only when the exact `group:artifact:version` matches
and no usable license metadata was detected.
- Added automatic maintenance of the override file:
  - Removes overrides when the dependency is no longer resolved.
- Removes overrides when the dependency starts publishing valid license
metadata.
- Migrates stale overrides to newer unresolved versions and clears their
metadata for re-verification.
- Adds null-valued placeholders for newly detected dependencies without
license metadata.
- Preserves populated overrides for newer versions when already present.
- Added Gradle version-aware dependency ordering for override migration.
- Registered `app/license-overrides.json` as an input for license-report
and license-check preparation tasks.
- Centralized the dependency license report plugin version in
`buildSrc`.
- Added unit tests covering override application, cleanup, migration,
exact-version matching, concurrent versions, placeholder generation, and
numeric version ordering.
- Added documentation describing the override lifecycle, verification
requirements, maintenance workflow, and validation commands.
- Replaced broad null-license allowances for the two HubSpot modules
with explicit Apache License 2.0 metadata.
- Added accepted GNU Lesser General Public License name variants
encountered in dependency metadata.

The change was made because some dependencies have known upstream
licenses but do not publish license metadata in a form detected by the
Gradle license report plugin. Previously, these dependencies were
permitted through module-specific null-license exceptions, leaving
incomplete information in the generated report. The new mechanism
supplies verified metadata without overriding valid metadata published
by dependencies.
