Handle autolinking for pure C++ turbo modules without includesGeneratedCode

[satya164]

Summary:

Currently, pure C++ modules require includesGeneratedCode: true, and the library to be shipping codegen files to work. This is inconsistent with regular turbo modules that work with both setups.

The issue is in 2 places:

1. CLI returns hardcoded default for C++ modules
2. Autolinking logic doesn't run codegen for C++ modules

PR removing hardcoded default from CLI: react-native-community/cli#2799

This change updates the autolinking logic to detect pure C++ libraries without includesGeneratedCode: true, run codegen for them and use correct path for CMakeLists based on the codegen output.

Changelog:

[ANDROID] [FIXED] - Fix pure C++ turbo modules not working without includesGeneratedCode: true

Test Plan:

• create new cpp library: npx create-react-native-library@latest awesome-library --yes --description "my library" --type turbo-module --languages cpp
• run yarn example android and notice that the build works
• apply the following patch to remove includesGeneratedCode: true:

Here there is a bunch of duplicated code.

Can you extract the common logic from configureCodegen into a reusable helper, then call it here for pure C++ deps instead?

[satya164]

@cortinico extracted duplicated task registration code to registerCodegenTasks

[cortinico]

Why do we need a MapProperty<String, String> here?

Can we replace it with a single optional DirectoryProperty pointing to the codegen output (i.e. build/generated/source/codegen/pureCxx)?

The autolinking task can derive each dep's CMake path itself: when cmakeListsPath is null and isPureCxxDependency is true, just look at {pureCxxDir}/{libraryName}/jni/CMakeLists.txt.

@cortinico updated to a DirectoryProperty
