[Android] [Changed] - Gradle wrapper 5.6
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/26079
Test Plan: Ran build and tests locally.

Summary:
Just change gradle.properties version number to change gradle version is not the right way. Because sometimes the gradlew and gradlew.bat or even the jar need to be updated too.
I also add the wrapper task to `build.gradle`, so next time, we just need to change the version number and execute `gradlew wrapper`.

[GENERAL] [BUGFIX] [Android] - fix gradle wrapper issue

Summary:
public
New version of gradle has a better support for zipTree copy task. Since we have a few of those including one for boost library which used to take very long, after upgrading we no longer need 6a656a1.
Also seems like many improvements made to gradle since 2.2 made it perform better on incremental builds (around 10% improvement on my laptop).
Command used to upgrade gradle version:
gradle wrapper --gradle-version 2.9
Some of the plugins require updating as well since the previous versions were incompatible with gradle 2.9.
