Trying the compile configuration if possible

[andrewreeman]

This performs a try/catch to try to maintain backwards compatibility.

Another solution would be could ditching backwards compatibility and just remove the 'compile' and 'testCompile' lines then replace:
configurations.api.getDependencies().each { dep -> addDependency(dep, "compile") }

with:
configurations.api.getDependencies().each { dep -> addDependency(dep, "implementation") }

BUMP: Please accept this change, as #38 breaks builds on jitpack.io.
