doctor: combo check for android gradle plugin < 7.1 iff react-native <= 0.68

[mikehardy]

Describe the Feature

Doctor should determine the installed version of react-native (if one is installed), and if react-native is <= 0.68, it should verify that android gradle plugin is < 7.1

Possible Implementations

Unknown, need to experiment

Needs a more fine-grained test if possible, even because of https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/159411906

If new architecture is enabled, android gradle plugin 7.2 will be needed or ./gradlew clean [edited based on good catch from Nicola] fails, but plugin > 7.0 is not okay until react-native 0.69+ so there is a version range + feature set that simply has a known incompatibility, that can be communicated to users though

Noticed in reactwg/react-native-releases#13 (comment)

clean build fails

To clarify, calling gradle clean will fail. Not a clean build (i.e. building from a clean repo). But yeah, worth to address

[mikehardy]

sorry! exactly correct, imprecise wording on my part. I'm going to edit the comment to take this in to account, good catch
