refactor: remove build commands, let users call gradle/xcodebuild directly

Removed android.sh build and ios.sh build commands. Users should call
gradle/xcodebuild directly with their project-specific requirements.

The plugins focus on what they're good at: device/emulator management
and deployment. Build configuration is app-specific and better handled
by users directly.

Changes:
- Removed build command handlers from android.sh and ios.sh
- Deleted plugins/android/virtenv/scripts/domain/build.sh
- Deleted plugins/ios/virtenv/scripts/domain/build.sh
- Removed build.sh from plugin.json includes
- Updated all test suites to call gradle/xcodebuild directly
- Updated usage/help text with note about direct build commands

Test suite changes:
- Android: ./gradlew assembleDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=$METRO_PORT
- iOS: xcodebuild -workspace ... -scheme ... -configuration ... build
