Make sure the -DANDROID compilation flag is always included. (#37451)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #37451

It seems like starting from AGP 7.4, Android is not including the `-DANDROID` flag
anymore from the NDK toolchain.

As we do have several `#ifdef` logic that takes care of having this macro set,
I'm going to make sure it's always set for both ReactAndroid, hermes-engine
and the template.

Changelog:
[Android] [Fixed] - Make sure the -DANDROID compilation flag is always included
