Also upgrade scoverage (required for compatibility) and remove usage of
`useAnt` which doesn't exist in Gradle 3.0
It turns out that one cannot even run `gradle` to download the project Gradle version if `useAnt` is used in the build. This is unfortunate (the SBT launcher has much saner behaviour).

Closes#1774 from ijuma/kafka-4082-support-gradle-3.0
There are a few improvements in 2.12 and 2.13. I am particularly interested in the performance improvements:
* 2.12: "This release brings support for compile only dependencies, improved build script compilation speed and even better IDE support."
* 2.13: "We've achieved performance improvements during Gradle's configuration and execution phase, where we have measured up to 25% improvements to build time in our performance tests. No changes to your build script are necessary to start taking advantage of these improvements."

Closes#1271 from ijuma/gradle-2.13
When invoking `gradle` on a recent version, it updates `gradlew.bat` to fix a typo. It's an annoyance at development time as it causes a diff on whatever branch one is working on.
