To publish a Flatpak Linux package on Flathub, we need to build the application without network connectivity (offline build). The `flatpakGradleGenerator` task will generate a list of sources for dependencies, so they can be prefetched and used during the build via an offline repository.

I understand if this wasn't accepted here in upstream. I could just use a patch to generate the sources for packaging, but it would be cleaner to have it here and to keeps maintenance minimal.
