Emiel Mols 84e2636004 ReactAndroid: JS errors during bundle load were reported as UnknownCppException (#24648)
Summary:
This fixes a regression on Android introduced by f3e5cce where JS errors thrown during bundle load were lost (shown only as UnknownCppException). It is especially tough to debug (custom) bundling errors without seeing the javascript error.

Root cause hypothesis: since switching to clang, `JSError`s thrown in ReactCommon's `JSCRuntime::checkException` were never matched as `std::exception` in ReactAndroid's `convertCppExceptionToJavaException` due to these missing flags.

I'm a bit shy on low-level details concerning how C++ rtti works exactly around catching exceptions thrown in other libraries. All I can say that with this change, a `bundle.android.js` that only contains `throw new Error("wtf");` now nicely outputs a message and stack trace in the logcat. Before (and since DanielZlotin's switch to clang) it just outputted:
