Lint plugin fails with Gradle 7.0

[big-guy]

I updated the example to use implementation and testImplementation: https://github.com/nebula-plugins/gradle-lint-plugin/tree/master/example

And then ran gradle lintGradle with 7.0-milestone-2. This failed with an exception: https://scans.gradle.com/s/3w6fludv6c3xi/failure?anchor=e30&focused-exception-line=0-1-0#1

The other lint tasks fail in a similar way.

7.0-milestone-1 does not fail in this way, so I suspect this failure has to do with the Groovy 3 upgrade between M1 and M2.

This issue is probably obsolete as smoke tests on the Gradle side are passing for the upcoming 8.0 release.
