Add typing information for use by typesafegithub (#814)
Introduces type descriptor YAML files for GitHub
Actions in the repository, improving type safety and documentation for
action inputs and outputs. It also adds a new GitHub Actions workflow to
validate these typings automatically on pushes and pull requests. The
changes are grouped into the addition of type descriptor files for
various actions and the automation of their validation.

**Type descriptor files for GitHub Actions:**

* Added `action-types.yml` files to `setup-gradle`,
`dependency-submission`, and `wrapper-validation` actions, specifying
input and output types for each action to improve type safety and
documentation.

**Automation and validation:**

* Introduced a new GitHub Actions workflow
`.github/workflows/ci-validate-typings.yml` to automatically validate
action typings on pushes to `main` and `release/**` branches, as well as
on pull requests. This uses the `github-actions-typing` action for
validation.

The setup-gradle action

The setup-gradle action can be used to configure Gradle for optimal execution on any platform supported by GitHub Actions.

This replaces the previous gradle/gradle-build-action, which now delegates to this implementation.

The recommended way to execute any Gradle build is with the help of the Gradle Wrapper, and the examples assume that the Gradle Wrapper has been configured for the project. See this example if your project doesn't use the Gradle Wrapper.

Example usage

name: Build

on:
  push:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout sources
      uses: actions/checkout@v6
    - name: Setup Java
      uses: actions/setup-java@v5
      with:
        distribution: 'temurin'
        java-version: 17
    - name: Setup Gradle
      uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v5
    - name: Build with Gradle
      run: ./gradlew build

See the full action documentation for more advanced usage scenarios.
