Long AI-Generated description:

This pull request updates the build configuration for the Android LofeltHaptics plugin to support newer versions of Gradle, Android SDK, and related dependencies. The changes modernize the build setup, improve compatibility, and update dependency management for both Gradle and the Rust plugin integration.

Build system and dependency updates:

• Upgraded Gradle wrapper from version 6.7.1 to 7.6.4 in gradle-wrapper.properties, enabling use of newer Gradle features and improved compatibility.
• Updated build.gradle to use com.android.tools.build:gradle version 7.4.2 and org.mozilla.rust-android-gradle:plugin version 0.9.6, and switched repository from explicit Maven URL to gradlePluginPortal().

Android SDK and NDK configuration:

• Increased compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion from 31 to 34 in LofeltHaptics/build.gradle, aligning with recent Android platform requirements. [1] [2]
• Updated NDK version from 21.3.6528147 to 29.0.13846066 for improved Rust plugin compatibility.

Gradle tasks and build process improvements:

• Refactored Gradle task dependencies to more robustly link asset generation and packaging tasks to Rust build tasks, and added logic to ensure merge and bundle tasks depend on Rust build outputs.
• Changed the clean task definition to use the modern tasks.register API instead of the deprecated task syntax.
