Windows support long path in installed packages

[aleluiah]

Description

Although by using a pr fix in react.gradle (hermes.exe) seem to solve the hermes.exe not found issue on windows and the build is successful. but after installing react-native-gesture-handler with new architecture the build fails due to windows long path limit.

You should open this issue against https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler/

The issue is in this file: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler/blob/main/android/src/main/jni/Android.mk

They should either:

• Migrate to CMake
• Apply the fix for Long Paths on Windows, like we did here [Main][Windows] Working around Long paths limitation on Windows #33707
