          DependencySubstitutions all​(Action<? super DependencySubstitution> rule)

      Adds a dependency substitution rule that is triggered for every dependency (including transitive) when the configuration is being resolved. The action receives an instance of `DependencySubstitution` that can be used to find out what dependency is being resolved and to influence the resolution process.

      Example:

           configurations { main }
           // add dependency substitution rules
           configurations.main.resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
             // Use a rule to change the dependency module while leaving group + version intact
             all { DependencySubstitution dependency ->
               if (dependency.requested instanceof ModuleComponentSelector && dependency.requested.name == 'groovy-all') {
                 dependency.useTarget details.requested.group + ':groovy:' + details.requested.version
               }
             }
             // Use a rule to replace all missing projects with module dependencies
             all { DependencySubstitution dependency ->
              if (dependency.requested instanceof ProjectComponentSelector) {
                 def targetProject = findProject(":${dependency.requested.path}")
                 if (targetProject == null) {
                   dependency.useTarget "org.myorg:" + dependency.requested.path + ":+"
                 }
               }
             }
           }

      The rules are evaluated in order they are declared. Rules are evaluated after forced modules are applied (see `ResolutionStrategy.force(Object...)`
      Returns:
        this

    - #### module

          ComponentSelector module​(String notation)

      Create a ModuleComponentSelector from the provided input string. Strings must be in the format "{group}:{module}:{version}".

    - #### project

          ComponentSelector project​(String path)

      Create a ProjectComponentSelector from the provided input string. Strings must be in the format ":path".

    - #### substitute

          DependencySubstitutions.Substitution substitute​(ComponentSelector substitutedDependency)

      DSL-friendly mechanism to construct a dependency substitution for dependencies matching the provided selector.

      Examples:

           configurations { main }
           configurations.main.resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
             // Substitute project and module dependencies
             substitute module('org.gradle:api') with project(':api')
             substitute project(':util') with module('org.gradle:util:3.0')

             // Substitute one module dependency for another
             substitute module('org.gradle:api:2.0') with module('org.gradle:api:2.1')
           }
