Summary:
This creates a debugOptimized build type for React Native Android, meaning that we can run C++ optimization on the debug build, while still having the debugger enabled. This is aimed at improving the developer experience for folks developing on low-end devices or emulators.

Users that intend to debug can still use the debug variant where the full debug symbols are shipped.

Summary:
This creates a `debugOptimized` build type for React Native Android, meaning that we can run C++ optimization on the debug build, while still having the debugger enabled. This is aimed at improving the developer experience for folks developing on low-end devices or emulators.

Users that intend to debug can still use the `debug` variant where the full debug symbols are shipped.

Pull Request resolved: facebook#52620

Test Plan:
Tested locally with RNTester by doing:

```
./gradlew installDebugOptimized
```

This is the output of the 3 generated .aar. The size difference is a proof that we're correctly stripping out the C++ debug symbols:

Summary:
This removes the need to specify 2 Manifests for apps and we can just use the `main` manifes to toggle if `usesCleartextTraffic` should be enabled or not.

This will have to be replicated in the template repository.

Changelog:
[Android] [Added] - Add support to specify a single Manifest rather than 2 (main/debug) by using the `usesCleartextTraffic` manifest placeholder which is autoconfigured by RNGP.
