Plugin is using a deprecated gradle API that will be deprecated in gradle 8.0

[tribbloid]

If the plugin is defined in a multi-module project:

plugins {
...
    id("com.github.ben-manes.versions") version "0.42.0"
}

invoking the plugin dependencyUpdates task with all warning visible will yield deprecation info like this:

It is unknown what could have triggered those warning

Same as #263, #335, etc. Gradle hasn't moved on this deprecation and it requires an invasive change to rewrite into per-project tasks and aggregate the results.
