RNGP - Add option to disable bundle compression (was: Make all React Native apps start 12% faster) (#49449)

Summary:
Okay the title is a bit clickbaity, but this is actually true. (on Android)

We (Janic, Szymon, Ruby and Me) discovered something interesting. React Native uses `mmap` for mapping the JS bundle to RAM, to avoid having to load the entire thing instantly at app startup.
Ruby doubted that this was true - so we investigated.

Apparently on Android, resources are **compressed**. And if the JS bundle is stored compressed, it has to be uncompressed before it can be loaded into RAM, hence not allowing it to be mmapp'ed! (see [`_CompressedAsset::getBuffer`](https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:frameworks/base/libs/androidfw/Asset.cpp;l=903?q=Asset.cpp))

So with this PR, we now add `.bundle` files to `noCompress` in the react-native gradle plugin, which disables compression for the JS bundle.

We discovered while improving the performance of one of our clients: **Discord**.
In our tests, **this improved the TTI of the Discord app by 400ms!! (or 12%)** 🤯🚀

NOTE: Yes, the .apk will now be bigger. But; Google Play compresses it anyways, so the **download size** of your .apk will likely not increase by much. It will be bigger on disk though.

Test Plan:
### 1. Verify compression is disabled

Build two apps, one with this patch and one without. When I did this using the RN community template, the one without this patch was 47,6 MB, and the one with this patch was 48 MB in size. So the .apk got bigger, which is what we expected

### 2. Verify app startup is faster

Use tools like react-native-performance or custom markers to measure TTI. In our tests, we shaved off 400ms from the startup time, which was about 12% of Discord's total TTI. (on a low-end Android device)
In Expensify, we improved the TTI by 14-20% with this change (source: Expensify/App#56930)
