Description
Just a tracking issue for if/when 6.8 or higher becomes our baseline. Happy to take a PR which uses feature-detection to enable this now with whatever versions [we currently support](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/tree/main/plugin-gradle#requirements).

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the Gradle requirements linked in the issue and the Gradle 6.8 documentation for @IgnoreEmptyDirectories. Determine whether the change should wait for a new baseline or use feature detection while current versions remain supported. Done means the annotation is adopted without breaking the supported Gradle versions.
