Disable Gradle Module Metadata resolution#11789

Conversation
The module metadata in Guava causes the -jre version to be selected even when you choose the -android version. Gradle did not give any clues that this was happening, and while `println(configurations.compileClasspath.resolve())` shows the different jar in use, most other diagonstics don't. dependencyInsight can show you this is happening, but only if you know which dependency has a problem and read Guava's module metadata first to understand the significance of the results. You could argue this is a Guava-specific problem. I was able to get parts of our build working with attributes and resolutionStrategy configurations mentioned at https://github.com/google/guava/releases/tag/v32.1.0 , so that only Guava would be changed. But it was fickle giving poor error messages or silently swapping back to the -jre version. Given the weak debuggability, the added complexity, and the lack of value module metadata is providing us, disabling module metadata for our entire build seems prudent. See google/guava#7575
