Added

• Support for Android Studio DMG archives

• Better error handling in dependency helpers when missing values
• Introduce GenerateManifestTask for generating MANIFEST.MF file
• Introduce ComposedJarTask to compose and pick the final jar archive
• Introduce intellijPlatform.pluginModule(Dependency) dependency helper to compose a single jar combined of multiple modules

Fixed

• Fixed custom tasks suffixing
• Fixed: Task :test uses this output of task :prepareSandbox without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency #1609
• ExtractorTransformer: Exclude only Applications symlink
• SandboxAware: inherit sandbox directory from producer
• Add IntelliJ Platform path-based hash to Ivy files to better deal with cache (temporary workaround)
