Bug 1776445 - Bump the Android Gradle Plugin to v7.2.1

[Dexterp37]

This additionally bumps the Gradle version and fixes the breakage due to querying the namespace property at configuration time. We instead query it at evaluation time now.

This unblocks mozilla-mobile/android-components#12386

Note: I'm making this a draft until I test it in A-C.

Wait, just moving the code into the doFirst block is enough? Well, if CI agrees and the test in a-c works I have nothing against it.

CI failure for the clippy lints, that is fixed in main, so either rebase here or just ignore it and it will be green when merged.

Yes, because doFirst makes the code in its closure be executed as the [first thing when the task executes](https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Task.html#org.gradle.api.Task:doFirst(org.gradle.api.Action) (vs configuration time)

I tested this in Android Components and I was able to correctly build and run the Glean Sample app (all the other components built just fine).

@Dexterp37 Is there any timeline set for releasing the next version that contains this fix? TY!

We have a couple of things I'd like to bundle into a release, so we probably do a release end of next week, which means it will take until the week after that (July 25th) before it reaches A-C.

@badboy I guess app services should also be updated with the new Glean version and bumped before we can also update Glean in AC?

Yes, I'm working on that today.
