Summary:
Small pull request
**motivation**
The doc 'Building React Native from source' is not up to date now.
While i try to build from the source my self, the gradle-download-task(2.0.0) will always fail to download boost zip with a failure of 403.
After i upgrade the gradle-download-task to 3.1.2, the download works well.
**Test plan (required)**
I tested to build the source myself, it works.
This is non-code update, it is document update, hope to help other people who get the same download failure.
**Code formatting**
Non-code update PR.

Summary:
I wasn't able to run Android instrumentation tests locally from Android Studio without bumping the gradle plugin version and gradle version.
I know that Facebook is planning to move away from Gradle into BUCK only, but this is a pretty straightforward change that seemed to fix it for me.

Summary:
public
New version of gradle has a better support for zipTree copy task. Since we have a few of those including one for boost library which used to take very long, after upgrading we no longer need 6a656a1.
Also seems like many improvements made to gradle since 2.2 made it perform better on incremental builds (around 10% improvement on my laptop).
Command used to upgrade gradle version:
gradle wrapper --gradle-version 2.9
Some of the plugins require updating as well since the previous versions were incompatible with gradle 2.9.

This is an early release and there are several things that are known
not to work if you're porting your iOS app to Android.
See the Known Issues guide on the website.
We will work with the community to reach platform parity with iOS.
