DependencyCollector (Gradle API 8.7)

```
@Incubating
@NonExtensible
public interface DependencyCollector
```
A DependencyCollector is used as part of a dependencies block in the DSL. A collector implements a single dependency scope and exposes the declared dependencies on getDependencies().
Since:

8.6

API Note:
Gradle has specific extensions to make explicit calls to add(...) unnecessary from the DSL.
- For Groovy DSL, we create call(...) equivalents for all the add(...) methods.
- For Kotlin DSL, we create invoke(...) equivalents for all the add(...) methods.
Implementation Requirements:

This interface should not be implemented by end users or plugins.

Implementation Note:

Changes to this interface may require changes to the extension module for Groovy DSL or extension functions for Kotlin DSL.
