Added

• jetbrainsRuntime() dependency helper for resolving a suitable JBR version for IntelliJ Platform fetched from IntelliJ Maven Repository
• jetbrainsRuntimeExplicit(explicitVersion) dependency helper for specifying an explicit JBR version if necessary
• PrepareSandboxTask: introduce sandboxDirectoriesExistence property to ensure all sandbox directories exist
• localPlugin() dependency helper for adding local plugins as project dependencies and extending customizable tasks
• Emit warning when using the bundledLibrary dependency helper.

Changed

• Update PlatformJavaVersions and PlatformKotlinVersions
• Introduce a separated Sandbox for the Frontend part when running IDE in Split Mode
• Rename SandboxAware.sandboxContainerDirectory to SandboxAware.sandboxDirectory to avoid confusion with intellijPlatform.sandboxContainer
• Use custom task name as a suffix for dynamically created configuration and tasks instead of UUID.randomUUID()

Fixed

• Fixed transitive dependencies of bundled plugin dependencies when IntelliJ Platform doesn't contain ProductInfo.layout model yet.
• Produce customized (suffixed) configuration only for CustomIntelliJPlatformVersionAware tasks
