rCOMM249757e038eb: [native] Add `jcenter()` as fallback for `gradlePluginPortal()`

Summary

In a previous diff I removed jcenter() and replaced it with gradlePluginPortal() since jcenter() is (one day) going to be taken down and has been a source of issues in the past.

However... we're now experiencing issues with the Gradle Plugin Portal: https://status.gradle.com/incidents/9j9bx7nlwwf1

I wonder if adding jcenter() as a fallback will resolve things (at least in the short tun)

NOTE: I plan on reverting this in a few days once whatever intermittent Gradle issue is over.

Test Plan

See if Android CI passes

Is that a good idea? Seems like this sort of downtime is like a regular thing with these Android package hosts... maybe we keep both of them around just in case? Or does that slow down builds or something?

By leaving it off the list we'll be alerted (by a build failure) if some dependency can only be resolved via jcenter() (since TIL Gradle Plugin Portal isn't a "complete" mirror...).

I'll land as-is and we can see how things go w/ Android dependency reliability
