Remove fbjni dependencies completely by converting all JNI layers to pure JNI

[Copilot]

Summary

Removes fbjni dependencies entirely from Android build configuration by converting all JNI layers (including training module) to pure JNI.

Gradle changes:

• Remove com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni:0.7.0 dependency from executorch_android/build.gradle
• Remove unused fbjniJavaOnlyVersion and soLoaderNativeLoaderVersion variables from root build.gradle
• Retain com.facebook.soloader:nativeloader:0.10.5 (still used for native library loading)

CMake changes:

• Remove all fbjni download/setup code from CMakeLists.txt
• Remove fbjni from all link libraries
• No build configuration requires fbjni anymore

JNI changes:

• Convert jni_layer_training.cpp from fbjni to pure JNI
• Update TrainingModule.java and SGD.java to use native handles (long) instead of HybridData
• All JNI layers now use pure JNI with standard JNI calls (GetStaticMethodID, CallStaticObjectMethod, etc.)
• Replace fbjni-specific classes (HybridClass, JavaClass, local_ref) with manual JNI reference management

All Android builds (including training) no longer depend on fbjni. The entire Android JNI layer is now pure JNI.

Test plan

Verified no Java code imports fbjni. Confirmed soloader usage in Module.java, ExecuTorchRuntime.java, TrainingModule.java, and SGD.java. Reviewed CMake logic to ensure fbjni completely removed. Converted training module C++ code to pure JNI following the pattern used in other JNI layers (jni_layer.cpp, jni_layer_runtime.cpp).

@copilot We don't need this anymore right?

[Copilot]

Correct! The warning about keeping fbjni versions in sync between CMake and Gradle is no longer relevant since we removed the fbjni Gradle dependency. Removed in commit 270e957.

@copilot We don't need code like

  add_custom_command(
    OUTPUT
      "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/third-party/fbjni/prefab/modules/fbjni/include/"
      "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/third-party/fbjni/prefab/modules/fbjni/libs/android.${ANDROID_ABI}/libfbjni.so"
    COMMAND unzip -o ${FBJNI_DOWNLOAD_PATH} -d
            ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/third-party/fbjni
    DEPENDS "${FBJNI_DOWNLOAD_PATH}"
  )

...

The training module (jni_layer_training.cpp) still uses fbjni headers and classes (HybridClass, local_ref, etc.). If we remove the fbjni download/setup code, the training build will fail.

Should I:

1. Convert jni_layer_training.cpp to pure JNI (like the other JNI layers), removing fbjni dependency entirely?
2. Remove training module support completely?
3. Something else?

@copilot Please Convert jni_layer_training.cpp to pure JNI (like the other JNI layers), removing fbjni dependency entirely

[Copilot]

@copilot Please Convert jni_layer_training.cpp to pure JNI (like the other JNI layers), removing fbjni dependency entirely

Done! Converted jni_layer_training.cpp to pure JNI and removed all fbjni dependencies.

Changes in commit 7c41b68:

• Rewrote jni_layer_training.cpp using pure JNI (no more fbjni headers)
• Updated TrainingModule.java and SGD.java to use native handles (long) instead of HybridData
• Removed all fbjni download/setup code from CMakeLists.txt
• Removed fbjni from link libraries

The entire Android JNI layer is now pure JNI with no fbjni dependency.
