Summary:
This PR adds support for Android Gradle [Build Variants](https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Build-Variants) when generating the JS bundle.
**Before**: only supported "bundleDebugJsAndAssets" and "bundleReleaseJsAndAssets"
**Now**: all variants are supported
Examples: "bundleDevDebugJsAndAssets", "bundleStageAlphaJsAndAssets", or "bundleBetaJsAndAssets"
The Gradle script will automatically create bundle tasks for each build variant found in a project.

Summary:
This allows everyone to deploy significantly smaller APKs to they Play Store by building separate APKs for ARM, x86 architectures.
For a simple app, a release APK minified with Produard:
- Universal APK is **7MB**
- x86 APK is **4.6MB** (34% reduction)
- ARM APK is **3.7MB** (47% reduction)
Created a sample project, uncommented `// include "armeabi-v7a", 'x86'`:
cd android
./gradlew assembleDebug
Three APKs were created, unzipped each: one has only x86 binaries,
one has ARM binaries, one has both.
./gradlew assembleRelease
Three APKs were created, JS bundle is correcly added to assets.
react-native run-android
The correct APK is installed on the emulator and the app runs fine
(Gradle output: "Installing APK 'app-x86-debug.apk'").
With the line commented out the behavior is exactly the same as before,
only one universal APK is built.
Checked that version codes are set correctly as described in
http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/apk-splitshttp://developer.android.com/intl/ru/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks.html

Summary:
Having a base activity allows us to add new features and fixes without having to change the generated `MainActivity` file.

Summary: From http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html
> Some device configurations can change during runtime (such as screen orientation, keyboard availability, and language). When such a change occurs, Android restarts the running Activity (onDestroy() is called, followed by onCreate()). The restart behavior is designed to help your application adapt to new configurations by automatically reloading your application with alternative resources that match the new device configuration.
However, in a React Native app, there is only a single activity for the entire app, unlike a single activity per screen in Android, and resources are not specific to orientation etc. Destroying activity means reloading the entire app. Most of the time, this is not the intended behaviour, and can cause data loss for the user if the developer doesn't disable it explicitly. I'm proposing to disable it by default.

Summary: This adds gradle tasks that call `react-native bundle` with the correct args to bundle dev/release JS and assets. The dev task is disabled by default, as in dev mode people only use reload JS in most cases.
Submitting this as a pull request to have community visibility, although we have this code internally as well now and this will require an import.
* generate a project with `react-native init`, add some assets, run `./gradlew assembleRelease`, sign & zipalign generated APK, run it -> works
* enable dev bundling task, run `./gradlew installDebug` (not `react-native run-android` so as to not start the packager) -> works

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.
