Update Yoga Android build to Gradle 9, AGP 8.12, SDK 36 (#1914)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #1914

Aligns Yoga’s Android bindings with React Native’s current toolchain to ensure compatibility and reduce maintenance overhead. Removes deprecated Gradle APIs and build-scan config, and updates targets (`minSdk`, `Java/Kotlin`) to match modern Android and RN requirements.
