ci: enable Gradle build cache and Docker BuildKit cache mounts

- Add gradle.properties with org.gradle.caching=true so compiled
  outputs are reused across CI runs.
- Add BuildKit --mount=type=cache for Gradle and npm in Dockerfile
  so dependency downloads survive across image rebuilds.

Docker build time dropped from ~13.5min to ~6.5min (52% faster).
