Manifest.writeTo(Writer) is deprecated and is removed in Gradle 4.0

[olisikh]

In Gradle 4.0 method of Manifest interface DefaultManifest writeTo(Writer writer) is removed making this plugin incompatible with it.

A method org.gradle.api.java.archives.Manifest writeTo(Object path) could be used instead.
