fix(android): build error on monorepo

[Kudo]

Why

having the error when building on android with new architecture enabled and in a monorepo:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-picker_picker'.
> [react-native-picker] Unable to resolve react-native location in node_modules. You should add project extension property (in app/build.gradle) `REACT_NATIVE_NODE_MODULES_DIR` with path to react-native.

How

the line should be referenced from other libraries but since the current npm package name is namespaced under @react-native-picker/picker, we should add more ".."

Test Plan

#!/bin/bash

mkdir RN074Monorepo
cd RN074Monorepo
cat > package.json <<EOF
{
  "private": true,
  "workspaces": ["apps/*"]
}
EOF

mkdir apps
cd apps
npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init RN074 --version 0.74.0-rc.7 --skip-install
cd RN074
yarn add @react-native-picker/[email protected]
