Summary:
Historically React Native used to include the JitPack repository be default in the default repositories.

This sadly exposes React Native projects to supply chain attacks as explained here:
https://blog.oversecured.com/Introducing-MavenGate-a-supply-chain-attack-method-for-Java-and-Android-applications/

Moreover, artifacts on Jitpack are not GPG signed it's complicated to verify the identity of artifact authors.
I'm introducing a Gradle property to control if Jitpack should be included by default or not.

User can control this behavior by changing their gradle.properties file as such:

includeJitpackRepository=false

The default value of this property is currently true, but we're looking into changing it to false in the future.
