NPE in 0.9.x on org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration

Environment:
* Gradle v7.5.1
* Java 17.0.4
* protobuf-gradle-plugin v0.9.0 - also tested with v0.9.1 to same error

In case it's relevant, the Gradle project is multi-module, with the plugin added in the root `build.gradle` and then `apply plugin: 'com.google.protobuf'`'ed in a sub-project's `build.gradle`.

Error:
```
A problem occurred evaluating project ':project'.
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.google.protobuf'.
> Cannot invoke "org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration.getHierarchy()" because "configuration" is null

* Try:
> Run with --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating project ':project'.
