Kevin Gozali 83edd0c5fe codegen: set up Gradle plugin for more maintable codegen build steps
Summary:
Instead of sourcing-in a .gradle file to setup codegen tasks in Gradle, let's define a proper `com.facebook.react.codegen` Gradle plugin, so that any Gradle project (lib/app) can include it via:

```
plugins {
    id 'com.facebook.react.codegen'
}
```

The idea (not yet implemented in this commit) is to then allow those projects to add this section in the projects:

```
codegen {
    enableCodegen = ...
    jsRootDir = ...
}
```

This is more scalable and less hacky.

Important notes:
* The Gradle plugin should be prepared during the build, we're not going to publish it to Maven or other repo at this point.
* This setup is inspired by composite build setup explained here: https://ncorti.com/blog/gradle-plugins-and-composite-builds
* All android specific setup is added under `packages/react-native-codegen/android/` dir, but long term, we may want to move it up to `packages/react-native-codegen/` along side setup for other platforms.
* As part of this setup, the plugin will have an option (to be validated) to produce Java specs using https://github.com/square/javapoet
  * This is the same library already used for React Native Android annotation processors
  * This generator will not deal with parsing Flow types into schema, it will just takes in the schema and produce Java code
  * We're evaluating whether JavaPoet is a better choice for Java code generation long term, vs building it in JS via string concatenation: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/packages/react-native-codegen/src/generators/modules/GenerateModuleJavaSpec.js
  * This commit produces a sample Java code, not the actual codegen output

Changelog: [Internal]

To try this out, run this Gradle task:

```
USE_CODEGEN=1 ./gradlew :ReactAndroid:generateJava
```
