Update the template to load the correct JS engine at runtime. (#35095)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #35095

This change will make sure that we load the correct JS engine at runtime,
by using the BuildConfig flag that RNGP sets for us.

This will solve a lot of noise in adb logcat for users seeing
stacktraces mentioning failing to load `jscexecutor` library.

This is also a breaking change, but as the API was not widely used nor
advertised in the template, we should be fine by just mentioning this in the release notes.

Changelog:
[Android] [Changed] - Update the template to load the correct JS engine at runtime
