nix: make fetching Gradle dependencies more generic
Before what we did was essentially guess what files might exist for any
given package. This approach mostly works, but not entirely.
This is especially problematic when dealing with weird edge case
packages like `react-native`, which you can read about here:

https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/508
https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/blob/4a06fc64/proposals/0508-out-of-npm-artifacts.md#the-react-native-android-archive

In order to avoid as much the guessing aspect of fetching Gradle
dependencies we are using both HTML listsings of files and
`artifact-metadata.json` files that exist for more recent packages.

This way we can avoid having to add special edge cases that have been
found out when working on React Native 72 upgrade in:
