Publishing extended Gradle Module Metadata for Tooling

[shartte]

Summary of Changes

• Move the task to generate the changelog from rootProject to the neoforge project. We were accessing it across project
  boundaries to publish its results, which is discouraged by Gradle.
• Enable generation of Gradle module metadata.

MDK installation

In order to setup a MDK using the latest PR version, run the following commands in a terminal.
The script works on both *nix and Windows as long as you have the JDK bin folder on the path.
The script will clone the MDK in a folder named NeoForge-pr959.
On Powershell you will need to remove the -L flag from the curl invocation.

mkdir NeoForge-pr959
cd NeoForge-pr959
curl -L https://prmaven.neoforged.net/NeoForge/pr959/net/neoforged/neoforge/21.0.0-alpha.1.21-rc1.20240610.223412/mdk-pr959.zip -o mdk.zip
jar xf mdk.zip
rm mdk.zip || del mdk.zip
