Do not use rootProject directly in Gradle scripts

Summary:
While testing with the RN Nightly versions, I realized we pushed two changes
recently that are not working fine with the gradle setup of our users.

That's becuase we're referencing the `rootProject` directly.
`rootProject` should never be used directly as it resolves to:
- The root of the git repo of `react-native` when building the RN project (so
  `./ReactCommon` exists there).
- The /android folder of users' project when building an app that uses RN (so
  `./ReactCommon` does not exists there).

Changelog:
[Android] [Fixed] - Do not use `rootProject` directly in Gradle scripts
