📜 Description

• This moves the entire script logic from afterEvaluate (which is too late to register tasks) into androidComponents.onVariants. Since our tasks only run when there's an android app being build, it's a good place to hook our logic into. It also gives us direct access to the variant, so we don't have to search for it and build a releases map anymore. The tasks are configured per-variant, omitting the debug variant.
• Register our tasks lazily to avoid early resolution via register instead of create

I tested it locally both debug and release builds and the react-native-legal json file is correctly generated in both cases. Also, our tasks run correctly for the release build, you can see here I uploaded sourcemaps: https://sentry-sdks.sentry.io/settings/projects/sentry-react-native/source-maps/23317267-0d24-5f07-9852-28630b8cf98a/

The only thing that probably needs more testing is modules collection, because it generated an empty json locally for me, but perhaps I was doing something unexpected, because I was running gradle builds directly as opposed calling yarn/npx. If someone could verify it works, that'd be great.
