Fix IDE Gradle sync being slow because of lockfile generation

[bartekpacia]

I lost way too much time waiting for Gradle syncs to finish because of this problem, so I decided to take a stab at it.

This PR attempts to fix #110559

Revival of #112723

Some notes/questions:

• Are the lockfiles actually generated? If so, where? I ran ./gradlew :generateLockfiles --write-locks, but no .lockfile files were generated, neither in my app nor in Android plugins under ~/.pub-cache.
• Why does "Sync project with Gradle files" in IntelliJ trigger lockfile generation on every sync, but when I build my app normally (./gradlew :app:assembleDebug), then lockfile generation isn't triggered?
• How can I run the equivalent of "Sync project with Gradle files" from the terminal? I can image it might be useful for testing this.
