MINOR: Update to Gradle 2.9 and update generated gradlew file

More performance improvements:

"In many cases, Gradle 2.9 is much faster than Gradle 2.8 when performing incremental builds.

Very large builds (many thousands of source files) could see incremental build speeds up to 80% faster than 2.7 and up to 40% faster than 2.8.

Gradle now uses a more efficient mechanism to scan the filesystem, making up-to-date checks significantly faster. This improvement is only available when running Gradle with Java 7 or newer.

Other improvements have been made to speed-up include and exclude pattern evaluation; these improvements apply to all supported Java versions.

Gradle now uses much less memory than previous releases when performing incremental builds. By de-duplicating Strings used as file paths in internal caches, and by reducing the overhead of listing classes under test for Java projects, some builds use 30-70% less memory that Gradle 2.8."
