Relocate Litho dependencies in a location other than JCenter.

[elliottj-accolade]

• I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate

We'd like to be able to remove our dependency on jcenter, as it has been deprecated by Jfrog. The company decided to keep current jcenter downloads available indefinitely, so we're OK for now, but I assume additional updates for Litho will come from maven central (or similar?).

Version

    def litho_version = '0.40.0'

    api "com.facebook.litho:litho-core:$litho_version"
    api "com.facebook.litho:litho-widget:$litho_version"
    kapt "com.facebook.litho:litho-processor:$litho_version"

    // SoLoader - Litho
    api 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.10.1'
    implementation 'com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni:0.2.2'

    // For testing Litho
    testImplementation "com.facebook.litho:litho-testing:$litho_version"

    // Sections - Litho
    api "com.facebook.litho:litho-sections-core:$litho_version"
    api "com.facebook.litho:litho-sections-widget:$litho_version"
    compileOnly "com.facebook.litho:litho-sections-annotations:$litho_version"
    kapt "com.facebook.litho:litho-sections-processor:$litho_version"

Issues and Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisite: Create sample app that targets Android 12. Remove jcenter() from repositories in build.gradle file(s).

1. Add dependencies (above) to gradle.
2. Sync gradle or rebuild

Expected Behavior

Litho dependencies are found and downloaded.
