Summary:
If for instance you're using a custom transformer, having this hook will let you specify it without forking all of react.gradle
**Test plan:** Specified some additional packager args in my app's `android/app/build.gradle`:
```groovy
project.ext.react = [
bundleInDebug: true,
extraPackagerArgs: ["--transformer", "path/to/my/transformer.js"]
]
```
and ensured they show up when gradle invokes the bundler.

Summary:
addition to #7297
When called from an upstarting app, the bundling process should always be called with a cleared cache. That avoids possible problems with cached files.

Summary:The goal is to minimize the number of files we need to bootstrap. This allows us to make the upgrade process smoother for everyone.
If someone needs to customize the file, we already provide some config options. The ability to copy the file and modify it is always there for those few who need it.
**Test plan**
Generate a new project with the updated template. The app should build and run fine both in debug and production mode.
