Make sure first Gradle Sync is downloading 3rd party deps (#39426)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #39426

When opening the react-native repo in Android Studio the first time, users is missing 3rd party native dependencies,
which gets downloaded during the first build.

Here I'm hooking the Gradle sync step to the `preBuild` task that takes care of preparing the repo so that the whole build can succeeds (i.e. downloading and unzipping native deps, running codegen, preparing hermes/hermesc, etc.).

Changelog:
[Internal] [Changed] - Make sure first Gradle Sync is downloading 3rd party deps
