Research direction

Start by reading the referenced Gradle issue 19081 and the existing dependencies task behavior. Define what a spotlessDependencies task should do so it can be added to the root dependencies task without running formatting or checks, then verify that spotlessApply --write-locks is no longer needed for this workflow.

Description

enhancement

In lieu of a solution to https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/19081 which references my ticket... could we get a task that is just for dependencies? maybe spotlessDependencies then I could simply add it to my root dependencies task. I admit to this being a workaround, but I don't like running spotlessApply --write-locks running the formatter or a check seems bad.
