Migration to latest AndroidX

[adityasonel]

Whenever anyone tries to use react-native-gesture-handler with the latest android sdk library simply AndroidX. We got the error for old appcompat libraries used.

Then the developer has to manually remove older appcompat libraries and to add new androidx libraries. That's I created this PR with migrating react-native-gesture-handler to androidx.

@krzysztofciombor,
What do you think?

@adityasonel
I will be happy to merge it. However, could you fix e2e? Why is it breaking?

[adityasonel]

@osdnk
let me check what is this issue.

[adityasonel]

Actually, these errors are getting on @kmagiera branch, you have to migrate all your android's appcompat dependencies to android-x.

@adityasonel I'd like to wait for RN switch to AndroidX until changing it in RNGH. It requires target set to 28 and RN has made switch to 28 only 13 days ago (on master), so I'm not sure if I want to change it right now.

Just for reference, pull-request #410 contains similar changes.

[adityasonel]

@FibreFoX I am stucked in the same problem as #410. I don't know why Travis is failing.

In the meanwhile you can use
https://github.com/mikehardy/jetifier

npm install --save-dev jetifier
npx jetify

It will rewrite your local node_modules android packages to AndroidX
