feat: codegen in android packages

[WoLewicki]

📝 Description

PR adding codegen artifacts (static libs and headers) as parts of library .aar and implementing:

• packing all of it to .aar
• unpacking them in client project
• linking them instead of building them from source by:
  • removing library occurences from Android-autolinking.cmake (https://github.com/software-mansion/rnrepo/pull/206/files#diff-8d1431ccdc7a315b68ce17002287169c0463238f411af18e09163e67e34a0334R924-R938)
  • adding CMakeLists.txt wrapper around the main app's one in which we manually link those libs (https://github.com/software-mansion/rnrepo/pull/206/files#diff-8d1431ccdc7a315b68ce17002287169c0463238f411af18e09163e67e34a0334R999) which is consumed here

It is done to speed up the builds by removing the necessity of building codegen each time you build an app since we believe it should be library's responsibility to provide those artifacts.

The patch is for rn 0.81.4 but as long as the code in those files won't change in rn repo, it should work with other versions too.

Pull request overview

This PR implements a codegen artifacts prebuilt system for Android libraries to reduce build times by eliminating the need to rebuild codegen artifacts on every app build. The system packages prebuilt static libraries and headers in .aar files and provides mechanisms to extract and link them in client projects.

Changes:

• Modified build pipeline to generate both standard and codegen-enabled library versions
• Implemented extraction and linking of prebuilt codegen artifacts through Gradle plugin
• Temporarily disabled database status tracking and modified to use development branch for testing
