Upgrade to Kotlin 2.2.0

This commit leverages Kotlin 2.2 which is expected to be the
new baseline for Spring Boot 4.0, so API and language
versions are upgraded to KOTLIN_2_2 as well.

It also enables the -Xannotation-default-target=param-property
compiler flag, mainly for test purpose, in order to avoid the
related warnings and to use what will likely be the default in
an upcoming Kotlin version short term. For more details see
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-73255.

KotlinPlatformJvmPlugin was a class from an old KMP plugin,
deprecated for a long time and now removed. So its usage in
PluginClasspathGradleBuild has been removed as well.

+Kotlin 2.2.x introduces https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew22.html#new-defaulting-rules-for-use-site-annotation-targets[new defaulting rules for propagating annotations to parameters, fields, and properties]. In order to avoid related warnings and use what will likely become the Kotlin default behavior in an upcoming version, it is recommended to configure the `-Xannotation-default-target=param-property` compiler flag.

 Although Java does not allow one to express null-safety in its type system, Spring Framework, Spring Data, and Reactor now provide null-safety of their API through tooling-friendly annotations.
