[12.4.X] Update gosamcontrib version

[Dominic-Stafford]

Backport of #9406 for use in el8 and slc7 gridpack production. Updates gosam-contrib to version 2018.07.08 and hence ninja to v1.1. Tested that build works OK and external gridpacks can link against the new libraries

@cms-sw/orp-l2 , this is good to go in 12.4.X IB and next CMSW_12_4 release

[cmsbuild]

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next IB/CMSSW_12_4_X/master IBs (tests are also fine). This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @mandrenguyen, @sextonkennedy, @rappoccio, @antoniovilela (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)

[Dominic-Stafford]

Would it be possible for this request to merged and a new CMSSW_12_4 release to be made relatively soon, please? It would be nice to have this so we can start using these packages in gridpack generation
