Upgrade dependencies to reduce downstream conflicts

[rabbah]

There are some libraries that use older akka related libraries and this causes downstream (e.g., runtimes repos) to fail during the build step. Several of these dependencies can be resolved by removing unused artifacts (e.g., #5131) but not all.

In particular these two import older version of akka-http (10.1.10) and should be updated:

• akka-grpc-runtime_2.12:0.7.2
• com.lightbend.akka:akka-stream-alpakka-s3_2.12:1.1.2

As a workaround for downstream projects once PR #5130 is merged: apply the following patch:

add explicit dependencies to tests/build.gradle:

+gradle.ext.akka_http = [version : '10.2.4']
diff --git a/tests/build.gradle b/tests/build.gradle
index 1ae5a4b..b300fa0 100644

 }

declare some variables in settings.grade

Without the PR, you also to apply the same to these libraries:

• akka-cluster-metrics
• akka-discovery
• akka-protobuf
• akka-remote
• akka-cluster
• akka-distributed-data
• akka-cluster-tools

and an additional variable is needed in settings.gradle
