A framework for building native applications using React

0 0 0 C++

Migrate RNTester to use `{usesCleartextTraffic}` Manifest Placeholder (#52620)

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.

## Changelog:

[ANDROID] [ADDED] - Create a debugOptimized buildType for Android

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/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:
