When testing locally it seemed that upgrading KGP to `1.9.20` resolved
this, but testing again confirms this was incorrect, so the problem
was reintroduced in 00d1e70a34.
This change reverts back to KGP `1.9.0` (since upgrading didn't help)
and instead implements the workaround suggested in
https://issuetracker.google.com/278545487. The workaround is now in
the `lib-common` `build.gradle` file, which is transitively depended
on by all modules (and therefore all apps that use this library), so
there's no need for any developer action, and so the release note is
removed.
