Forge vs Profile dependencies for plugin and web-plugin

[jamesfredley]

Issue description

Significant difference exist between plugins and web-plugins generated from forge and profiles. We need to decide which dependencies should be included.

After plugin and web-plugin are finalized, we will add rest-api-plugin to forge: #14932

Some open to debate for web and rest-api plugins

implementation "org.apache.grails:grails-data-hibernate5"
runtimeOnly "com.h2database:h2"
runtimeOnly "com.zaxxer:HikariCP"
runtimeOnly "org.fusesource.jansi:jansi"

• need for additional grails-dependencies-* starters

• grails-dependencies-plugin-starter - bare min for plugin

• grails-dependencies-rest-api-starter - grails-dependencies-web-starter + rest dependencies

• implementation platform(“”) is nice because it applies to all default Gradle configurations, but has the downside of being added to the module json, but not the maven POM
