fix(deps): update android.gradle.plugin to v9 (major) (#6021)

* Update android.gradle.plugin to v9

* Separate extensions between app and library ones

`CommonExtension` has been split and its properties are now duplicated in `ApplicationExtension` and `LibraryExtension` without a shared interface, so we now need to duplicate the helper extension functions

* Bump Gradle wrapper to `9.3.1`

* Remove `kotlin-android` plugin usage: it's no longer needed

* Enable `resValues` build feature for the modules that have resources in custom variants like gplay, debug, etc.

Otherwise this now fails saying the resources are there but the feature is disabled

* Remove `retrofit` dependency from `:features:call:impl`

It wasn't in use and the build was failing

* Update kotlin to v2.4.0

* Update plugin paparazzi to v2.0.0-alpha05

* Update gradle wrapper to 9.5.1

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 9.5.1 --gradle-distribution-sha256-sum bafc141b619ad6350fd975fc903156dd5c151998cc8b058e8c1044ab5f7b031f

* Update com.android.tools.build:gradle to 9.2.1

* Update plugin sonarqube to v7.3.1.8318

* Kotlin 2.4.0

* Context parameters are enabled by default in Kotlin 2.4.0

* Fix code issue

* Fix record screenshot issue

* Workaround for https://github.com/cashapp/paparazzi/issues/2342

* Workaround for another issue with Paparazzi

* Remove unused import

* Update screenshots
