Upgrade Spotless to fix npm compatibility

[dhruv9b]

Description

This pull request fixes the Spotless/Prettier build failure reported in #11997.

Spotless 6.22.0 invokes npm with the --scripts-prepend-node-path option, which is no longer supported by current npm versions and causes the build to fail with:

npm error Unknown cli flag: --scripts-prepend-node-path

This change upgrades the Spotless Gradle plugin from 6.22.0 to 8.10.1, which contains the upstream fix for this issue.

Verification
