The deprecation message was:
```
The `archives` configuration added by the `base` plugin has been
deprecated and will be removed in Gradle 10.0.0. Adding artifacts to the
`archives` configuration will now result in a deprecation warning. If
you want the artifact built when running the `assemble` task, you should
add the artifact (or the task that produces it) as a dependency of the
`assemble` task directly.
val specialJar = tasks.register<Jar>("specialJar") {
archiveBaseName.set("special")
from("build/special")
}
tasks.named("assemble") {
dependsOn(specialJar)
}
```
I upgraded all plugins I could see except org.ysb33r.doxygen. 2.0 made
breaking changes, and I couldn't figure out how to migrate.
Most of the changes are for suppressing new linter purification rites.

Moving the project access outside the doLast block makes it occur at
confguration time instead.
This enables frc-docs to use RLIs for things that are currently in-line
code blocks, and ensures they compile, which is important with the 2027
breaking changes coming. They are kept separate from the examples to
ensure they don't polute the VSCode examples finder.
Adds the Encoder snippets used in the frc-docs Encoder article as the
first instance of this.
The Google C++ protobuf implementation has issues with dynamic linkage across DLL boundaries because it uses global variables. It also has a compile-time dependency because the protoc version must exactly match the libprotobuf version. Using nanopb with a customized generator fixes both of these issues.

Instead of hardcoding to use the project name after edu_wpi_first, which broke epilogue publishing
This did not affect local maven publishing, since it does not use those specially named and configured artifacts
Reading exported data from shared objects on windows is broken. It requires __declspec(dllimport). However, this is problematic, as we use the same static libraries both from a shared and static context. So we can't just blindly apply dllimport.
The linker should have caught this, as data members are exported in a different way. However, due to a bug in native-utils, data member symbols were exposed directly. However, interacting with those data member was completely broken.
The only way we can really solve this is to just not use static data members. We're pretty good about this in WPILib itself. However, protobuf is absolutely terrible at this. There are a ton of inline functions that access global data. For the protobuf library itself, we can solve this easily enough.
However, for the generated protobuf code, this is much more problematic. The member needed to bypass the global data is private. This means using just the stock protobuf code, this problem is not solvable. But, protobuf generated code has insertion points. Those insertion points let us add our own code into the generated code via a protoc plugin. And it just so happens that an insertion point exists to add extra public methodsto the generated protobuf header. There is also an insertion point to let us add to the cpp file.
The methods we need are the getters, for unpacking protobufs. For any protobuf that has a message as a member, we generate a new wpi_x() getter (the existing one is just x(), where x is the field name). We then implement this in the cpp file. A trick we can use is in the cpp file, we can safely call the x() function, as the cpp file is in the same library as the global. Thus we can call that inline method, and not actually need to directly access any internal private state of the protobuf object.
TL;DR, all protobuf classes that have messages as fields now have a wpi_x() accessor that must be used instead of x() if you want the code to work on windows. After wpilibsuite/native-utils#212, the bad code will fail to link, rather then just fail at runtime.
This removes a build dependency on the quickbuf generator being available for the build platform.
It's safe to generate Java because the quickbuf version is defined by the project.
C++ protobufs can't be committed because the protoc version must
match the library version (this is a particular issue for cmake builds).
