Summary:
Testing releases takes a lot of time because we have to build locally several configurations.
However, the artifacts that we build locally are also built in CI.
The goal of this PR is to implement a mechanism to download those artifacts from the CI instead of build locally, so that testing the release locally can take much less time.
As an example, the full test cycle can take more than 2 hours given that we need to repackage and rebuilt the app from the template.
My plan is to add a table with the time saved once the PR is done
### TODO:
- [x] Download Hermes tarball for RNTester iOS
- [x] Download Hermes APK for RNTester Android
- [x] Download JSC APK for RNTester Android
- [x] Download Packaged version of React Native to create a new app
- [x] Use the downloaded React Native to initialize an app from the template
- [x] Download Maven Local prebuilt in CI and use it for Template Android app
### Time Savings
| Setup | Before [s] | After [s] | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| iOS RNTester Hermes | 339.68 | 194.86 | Time saved by downloading Hermes rather then building it |
| iOS RNTester JSC | 129.80 | 123.35 | Not significant, expected as this workflow did not change
| Android RNTester Hermes | 1188.82 | 5.28 | Huge improvement: we download the APK rather then build |
| Android RNTester JSC | 103.10 | 6.28 | Huge improvement: we download the APK rather then build |
| Creating the RNTestProject | 2074.82 | 191.16 | We download Maven, the packaged version of RN and Hermes instead of building from scratch |

This diff moves the publishing coordinates from:
```
com.facebook.react:react-native
com.facebook.react:hermes-engine
```
to
```
com.facebook.react:react-android
com.facebook.react:hermes-android
```
I've picked those they are the most layout friendly when building from source, but we can discuss if we want others.
I've updated the Gradle plugin to have a dependencySubstitution rule + update the template with those changes.
It should now be possible to still use `implementation("com.facebook.react:react-native:+")` inside libraries
on 0.71+ and RNGP will resolve dependencies correctly.

Summary:
This PR is a follow up of https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/35075 and https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/1546666a6d713ef756b2f11de9581e3b2bbe08dc to ensure that even in the local e2e testing scenario the new maven approach is followed - without this, RNTestProject on Android won't work, like so:
<img width="1905" alt="Screenshot 2022-10-27 at 12 15 38" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16104054/198334105-30fb2037-4e7c-4814-8c3f-2412ba0bd49f.png">
And iOS will always build everything from source every time.
This PR addresses both by generating the artifacts locally, and passing them to RNTestProject as if they were coming from a url (mimicking as closely as possible the behaviour for the final user)
In doing so, there's been some refactoring to prep the ground for follow up work.
* refactor CI to rely less on scripts directly in the CircleCI config, but invoke .js ones
* we should be able to trigger more the "manual" artifacts generation so that it will only happen once between RNTester and RNTestProject, and we can pass existing artifacts to the other flows.
* once all of this in place, a very good improvement would be to be able to download the maven artifacts kind of like nightlies and stables do. This will only be viable by checking that there's no local changes, after which there needs to be logic to pull down from CircleCI the artifacts based on git commit <-> circleCI job references.
---
While at it, I've also fixed the hermes-engine podspec logic for detecting if it's on CI: basically the local e2e script needs to align with the changes done here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/4b512077354eb4702ce144e9958d7513c1607275
but as you can see there, the condition was actually inconsistent across the various files, so realigned to `CI === 'true'`. We probably didn't catch that so far 'cause the other condition in the hermes podspect (existence of `hermestag_file`) is only true on release branches and this new logic has not been in any release branches yet.

Summary:
This is a long time coming effort to improve the situation around the local e2e script that in the release crew: the current bash-based script is quirky at best, and what you end up generating as a sample project is not really a true sample project. This is where this PR comes in: it migrates the flow from `./scripts/test-manual-e2e.sh` to `yarn test-e2e-local <options>`.
Here's the current shape of the options:
```sh
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
-t, --target [choices: "RNTester", "RNTestProject"] [default: "RNTester"]
-p, --platform [choices: "iOS", "Android"] [default: "iOS"]
-h, --hermes [boolean] [default: true]
```
The idea is to change it so that you can just run the script, and it will do that one specific thing "well", without the tester needing to do anything aside from actually testing the app once it's open.
Some of the key changes:
* tries to stick to the patterns of the other established *.js based scripts, in terms of tooling and approach (and even refactor parts that can be shared with other scripts) - like the android artifacts generation
* no need to start the android emulator on the side
* no need to start Metro on the side
* RNTester iOS will open up on the simulator (no Xcode open that then you need to press)
Things that still need work:
* see the #fixme and #todo in comments
* because we rely on exec, the output sent back is not formatted/shaped correctly so it's a bit more noisy/chaotic - but can't handle it right now because the package we use doesn't allow it - see https://github.com/shelljs/shelljs/issues/86
