AGP to 8.0.2 (#37019)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #37019

This bumps the version of AGP to the latest stable.
There was a breaking change in how buildConfig are built which I had to handle.
This also requires a bump of RNGP to work correctly.
Moreover, we now required Java 17 to build Android apps (as that's a AGP requirement).

Changelog:
[Android] [Changed] - Java to 17 and AGP to 8.0.2
