Summary: On Android, React Native's Networking module fell back to OkHttp's default User-Agent (okhttp/<version>) when no User-Agent was supplied, so requests omitted the app name and version. iOS already includes this automatically via the system networking stack. This synthesizes a default User-Agent of "AppName/Version" (or just "AppName" when no versionName is available) from the app's PackageManager, applied only when no User-Agent is otherwise set. JS-supplied User-Agent headers still take precedence. Resolves react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals#284 Changelog: [Android][Added] - Send app name and version as the default `User-Agent` header for network requests, matching iOS Differential Revision: D116705471

Summary:
On Android, React Native's Networking module fell back to OkHttp's default
User-Agent (okhttp/) when no User-Agent was supplied, so requests
omitted the app name and version. iOS already includes this automatically via the
system networking stack.
This synthesizes a default User-Agent of "AppName/Version" (or just "AppName"
when no versionName is available) from the app's PackageManager, applied only
when no User-Agent is otherwise set. JS-supplied User-Agent headers still take
precedence.
