Add support for Gradle Configuration Cache

[pvdmde]

Description

Using Gradle 8.2 or newer with stable config cache support, enabling it with org.gradle.configuration-cache=true I'm getting this error:

4 problems were found storing the configuration cache, 2 of which seem unique.
- Script '/Users/..../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle': external process started 'node -e try {console.log(require('@react-native-community/cli').bin);} catch (e) {console.log(require('react-native/cli').bin);}'
  See https://docs.gradle.org/8.2.1/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:external_processes

org.gradle.api.InvalidUserCodeException: Starting an external process 'node -e try {console.log(require('@react-native-community/cli').bin);} catch (e) {console.log(require('react-native/cli').bin);}' during configuration time is unsupported.

Currently we're wasting 30s to 1 minute on configuration step every time we build, also locally. I reported it almost a year ago in https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/issues/2058, now it being closed there I should recreate it here.

Yup this is a known issue. I believe that 0.75 should bring support for Gradle Configuration cache but I need a bit more time testing it.

I'll provide more updates on this issue once I have them
