Ensure Dependabot is working

We would like Dependabot to be creating dependency bump PRs for our projects.
A little while ago we updated the build to store dependency version properties (e.g. springBootVersion) in the gradle.properties file.
That seemed like a nice idea at the time, but it seems like Dependabot doesn't like it. We may need to move back to storing these in ext { ... } or some other format that Dependabot can handle. Dependabot does not yet understand Gradle 7's new versioning features so we can't use those unfortunately.
