Find a way to not have to modify settings.gradle

There should be a way to avoid modifying settings.gradle to add these lines:

include ':gowaku'
project(':gowaku').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, './../node_modules/@waku/react-native/

and instead have npm / react-native autolink this submodule from waku-react-native

I think a common solution is to publish builds to jcenter, but that comes with some overhead managing releases there. The iOS pod is using git so could do the same. There is a project called jitpack that lets you easily use github projects as dependencies. https://jitpack.io/

Another idea might be to include a postinstall script. When running npm install it'll run the postinstall script, which could be the script to download go-waku.
