fix: Change project configuration logic

[barbeau]

This is Option 2 to fix #800 as mentioned in #800 (comment).

The following still needs to be done to restore all previous functionality (I've commented these with FIXME in the code, along with the current errors that exist when syncing with Android Studio):

• Fix jacoco-android
• Fix signAarPublication

Option 1 is presented in PR #895.

@arriolac What are your thoughts on this vs. Option 1?

It's not immediately clear to me how to fix the above issues if we decide to go this route, so any feedback on these would be welcome.

Only one of these two PRs should be merged.

Before submitting your PR, there are a few things you can do to make sure it goes smoothly:

• Make sure to open a GitHub issue as a bug/feature request before writing your code! That way we can discuss the change, evaluate designs, and agree on the general idea
• Ensure the tests and linter pass
• Code coverage does not decrease (if any source code was changed)
• Appropriate docs were updated (if necessary)
• Will this cause breaking changes to existing Java or Kotlin integrations? If so, ensure the commit has a BREAKING CHANGE footer so when this change is integrated a major version update is triggered. See: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/
