Build fails when R8 is enabled on a library module and android.library.defaults.buildfeatures.androidresources is set to false.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create empty application project
• Add new library module mylibrary
• Enable minification on the library module:

    buildTypes {
        release {
            isMinifyEnabled = true
            proguardFiles(
                getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                "proguard-rules.pro"
            )
        }
    }

• Add android.library.defaults.buildfeatures.androidresources=false to gradle.properties
• Run ./gradlew :mylibrary:minifyReleaseWithR8

Build will fail with the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':mylibrary:minifyReleaseWithR8'.
> Cannot query the value of this property because it has no value available.

Reproducable on Android Gradle Plugin versions 8.2.1, 8.3.0-beta01 and 8.4.0-alpha03.
