fix(android): preserve HybridNitroNetworkInfo in R8 builds

[maksymhcode-care]

Summary

• mark the Android hybrid implementation with @DoNotStrip
• preserve the class name and default constructor used by Nitro's generated JNI registration in minified release builds

Problem

NitroNetworkInfoOnLoad.cpp creates HybridNitroNetworkInfo through the hardcoded JNI descriptor Lcom/nitronetworkinfo/HybridNitroNetworkInfo;. Because the implementation had no shrinker annotation and no direct Java/Kotlin construction path, R8 could remove it from consumer release builds while retaining the generated spec.

Affected builds crash when the hybrid object is initialized:

NitroModulesProxy.createHybridObject(...):
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.nitronetworkinfo.HybridNitroNetworkInfo

Debug builds are unaffected because they normally do not run R8.

Fix

Annotate the implementation with React Native's existing @DoNotStrip annotation. This matches the convention already used by the generated Nitro classes and adds no dependency or API change.

Verification

• bun run typecheck
• bun run build
• built the Android example release with minifyEnabled true and x86_64 native architecture
• verified R8 maps HybridNitroNetworkInfo to its original name
• verified the default constructor is present in R8 seeds and the class is absent from usage.txt
• installed the minified release APK on an x86_64 Android emulator and cold-started it successfully; the process remained alive and the crash buffer was empty

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved reliability of network information functionality by preventing required components from being removed during Android builds.
