[Android] Support React Native v0.60

[jhen0409]

• Remove LocationModule on Android, it's no longer live on RN >= 0.60
• Override versions with root project for support AndroidX
• Support use Hermes JS engine on react-native-threads (If not, it will get error of jscexecutor.so not found with enableHermes: true)

Thanks for the PR, we'll test this out soon 👍

An issue is the host sometimes doesn't not received ThreadSelfManager.postMessage with hermes -emit-binary for worker bundle, I've to use setTimeout(() => ThreadSelfManager.postMessage('init'), 100) to solve issue.

I think the reason is the Hermes compiler speeds up the startup time of worker, it may faster than the preparation of thread bridge.

@jhen0409 I use react-native0.60.3, the PackageList is auto generate by react-native. The RNThreadPackage.java constructor need incoming parameter ReactNativeHost, but in PackageList no put the parameter into.

@biduone @neller1, if you're used autolinking, you should disable it for react-native-threads and link it manually. You can read the doc: How can I disable autolinking for unsupported library?
