Migrated to version catalog

[scottpeterson]

kept all versions the same

Decisions made to keep the changeset small

1. Stayed with Groovy DSL
2. Did not migrate plugins
3. Left root build.gradle structure as-is
4. Left fileTree as-is
5. Firebase BOM pattern preserved
6. Kept ext.kotlin_version in root build.gradle

Potential future improvements

1. Modernize root build structure
2. Add a [plugins] section
3. Convert to Kotlin DSL
4. Move ext.kotlin_version into the version catalog
5. Add more bundles
6. Remove fileTree
7. Remove android.enableJetifier=true from gradle.properties

Could you explain why we should do this migration -- what's the benefit? I found this reddit post (so I didn't do "deep" research) that made it seem like it might not be necessary for our little project.

We can discuss in Slack or here!
