Lots of unneeded dependencies in war due to gpars

[robertoschwald]

gpars depends on groovy-all, which causes lots of unneeded jars in the war file, like testng or groovy-test.

Maybe exclude groovy-all from gpars.

The v5.0.0 depends on gpars 1.2.1. That one declares the groovy-all dependency as an optional one and doesn't seem to be pulled in.

The current grails-core uses 4.0.3 so my guess is to test this using implementation "org.grails.plugins:cache:5.0.0".

Not sure if there are any blockers preventing upgrading to the v5.0.0. Maybe @puneetbehl has the status.

I will have a look at it.
