chore: Update build toolchain (#23)

This pull requests updates the project as follows:
1. **Update Gradle version to 4.8**
   This allows us to make use of new features such as native JUnit 5 integration and the build cache.
2. **Update Gradle build configuration according to new changes**
   This change allows us to share configuration across modules and easily change the versions for shared dependencies. In addition, we now make use of the `java-library` plugin which allows for various optimizations. See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_library_plugin.html
3. **Add support for Jacoco**
    We add support code coverage tracking via the latest version of Jacoco which has increasing support for Kotlin.

Closes #22
