Previously, Maven's default behaviour was relied up which resulted
in the artifact ID being appended to each URL as it was inherited.
This behaviour can only be disabled in Maven 3.6 and later, a version
that we cannot use due to an incompatibility with the Flatten Plugin.
This commit works around Maven's default behaviour by defining
properties for the SCM URL, connection, and developer connection and
then explicitly defining the settings in each pom using these
properties. The explicit definition of the properties in each pom
prevents them being inherited from the parent, thereby disabling the
unwanted appending of the artifact ID to the URL.

Previously, calling getComment() on a nested jar file would result
in the outer jar file's comment being returned.
This commit updates the loader's JarFile to read the file's comment
from the central directory end record and return it from getComment().

Previously, a regular expression of /./ was used to replace /./ with
/. The '.'' in the expression matches any single character so the
replacement was more broadly applicable than it should have been. For
example, /a/ would be replaced with /.
This commit uses Pattern.LITERAL to compile the regular expression
from the CURRENT_DIR (/./) contant. This allows the constant to be
used to check for occurances of /./ in the string before attempting
replacement, while also ensuring that the '.' is treated literally.

Update Gradle archive tasks to ensure that `META-INF/` and
`META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` remain as the first entries of the archive.
Prior to this commit, rewritten archives would violate the implicit
specification of `JarInputStream` that these entries should be first.
Fixes gh-16698
This commit restores the read-only `finalName` so that its value can
be lazily resolved against `${project.build.finalName}`.
While doing the evaluation ourselves and not relying on a dedicated
field at all would have been better, the evaluation increased the
number of required dependencies for no good reason.
IDEs should not offer auto-completion for that read-only field and it
is not published in the generated site either.
Closes gh-16456
