user feature install fails with Gradle 7

Running gradle installFeature to install user feature fails on Gradle 7.

Related Gradle issue:
gradle/gradle#13122

Problem happens when we recompile Gradle using the ProjectBuilder API to fetch new features.json artifact (generated by prepareFeature) from the Mavenlocal repo.

==Error log & stack trace==
