Add ndkVersion to Android project

[maximzhemerenko]

When I build Android app (react native 0.68.1) using arm based MacBook Pro M1, I receive 'Unknown host CPU architecture: arm64' error. This happens because library uses default ndkVersion, but not custom ndkVersion from 'ext'. I propose include this line in the build.gradle file to use globally specified ndkVersion if exists.

Shouldn't it be resolved with this commit's changes ? Or am I missing something and we need to do something in the library itself to correctly use it?

When I upgraded to react native 0.68.1 from 0.68.0, I added logic that choose ndkVersion in the root build.gradle file.

And when I build react native android app without added react-native-screens library it builds on arm based Android Studio.

When I add react-native-screens library I see 'Unknown host CPU architecture: arm64' error.

So my decision is to add line to the library build.gradle file that read ext variable from the root build.gradle file and set the ndkVersion of the library as well.

I did not worked with ndk before, this decision come from research.
