Dependency upgrade:
- Bump logback to 1.2.10 (test dependency)
- Bump slf4j to 1.7.36 (test dependency)
- Bump log4j2 version to 2.12.4 (test dependency)

Improvement:
- STC sometimes requires explicit closure to SAM cast inside of another closure
- IndexedProperty AST transform should only provide the getter for immutable fields
- Java8 does not load enum values into annotation attributes
- SC: optimize for-in loop on array with dynamic variable
- TraitComposer should mark generated methods as @Generated
- Type argument checking
- @Delegate should check property/method names for annotation attributes like includes/excludes
- Compile error needed for illegal field modifier combination
