Work around max path length during source build of RN Android (#30776)
Summary:
Building ReactAndroid from source on Windows has recently hit the limitation of maximum path lengths.
At build time, during the `:ReactAndroid:buildReactNdkLib` task, the linker tries to access several of the intermediate binaries located deep in the tmp folder hierarchy, eg.
```
D:\r\ReactAndroid\build\tmp\buildReactNdkLib/local/armeabi-v7a/objs/react_render_components_progressbar/D_/r/ReactAndroid/__/ReactCommon/react/renderer/components/progressbar/android/react/renderer/components/progressbar/AndroidProgressBarMeasurementsManager.o
```
**Suggested fix:** for modules such as `react_render_components_progressbar` and `react_render_components_picker`, rename them to `rrc_progressbar` etc.
**NOTE**: this assumes that the fix from #30535 is in place. This regression happened while #30535 has been pending checkin.
**Other mitigations I've tried:**
- setting [`LOCAL_SHORT_COMMANDS`](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/android_mk#local_short_commands) for the problematic modules or `APP_SHORT_COMMANDS` for the root project. Turns out those commands don't work on the NDK version RN requires, but even after manually applying a [patch ](https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/ndk/+/1126440) to my local copy of the NDK, these flags had no effect.
- moving the repo directory higher in the file system tree, and using short directory names `D:\r\...` was not enough
- creating virtual drive letters for specific long paths with the [`sust`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/subst#examples) command is not workable, since they depend on the source folder structure, and get partly generated by the build system, which I can't plug into
- just enabling long path support on Windows is not enough, since the compiler toolchain doesn't support them.
