We need to keep the android-gradle-plugin and kotlin versions in sync according to compatibility table at https://developer.android.com/build/kotlin-support

This may fix the error reported at skiptools/skip#658:

> Task :app:minifyReleaseWithR8
WARNING: R8: An error occurred when parsing kotlin metadata. This normally happens when using a newer version of kotlin than the kotlin version released when this version of R8 was created. To find compatible kotlin versions, please see: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/kotlin-d8-r8-versions
