Do not load Flipper via reflection (#34383)

Summary:
Followup to #34379 by danilobuerger

Loading Flipper via reflection is type unsafe and requires extra code + exception handling that we can get rid of. The recommended way to use Flipper on Android is either via a `no-op` artifact or by using build flavors.

As we already had a setup for Flipper for `debug`, I'm creating the `release` equivalent which is just a stub. This allows us to get rid of some code inside `MainApplication.java`

## Changelog

[Android] [Changed] - Do not load Flipper via reflection

Pull Request resolved: #34383
