docs: add comprehensive documentation for automatic capacitor.build.gradle fix

- Add detailed inline documentation in build-native.sh explaining the problem, why it happens, and the solution
- Update fix-capacitor-build.sh with comprehensive header documentation
- Include clear explanations of when the fix gets overwritten and how to restore it
- Add user-friendly output with emojis and clear messaging
- Document the automatic fix process with step-by-step explanations

This provides complete transparency about what the scripts do and why,
making it easy for developers to understand and maintain the fix.

# Fix capacitor.build.gradle if needed
# =============================================================================
# AUTOMATIC FIX: capacitor.build.gradle for Plugin Development Projects
# =============================================================================
#
# PROBLEM: The capacitor.build.gradle file is auto-generated by Capacitor CLI
# and includes a line that tries to load a file that doesn't exist in plugin
# development projects:
# apply from: "../capacitor-cordova-android-plugins/cordova.variables.gradle"
#
# WHY THIS HAPPENS:
# - This file is generated by 'npx cap sync', 'npx cap update', etc.
# - It assumes a full Capacitor app with proper plugin integration
# - Plugin development projects don't have the full Capacitor setup
#
# THE FIX:
# - Comment out the problematic line to prevent build failures
# - Add explanatory comment about why it's commented out
# - This fix gets applied automatically every time the build script runs
#
# WHEN THIS FIX GETS OVERWRITTEN:
# - Running 'npx cap sync' will regenerate the file and remove our fix
# - Running 'npx cap update' will regenerate the file and remove our fix
# - Running 'npx cap add android' will regenerate the file and remove our fix
#
# HOW TO RESTORE THE FIX:
# - Run this build script again (it will reapply the fix automatically)
# - Or run: ./scripts/fix-capacitor-build.sh
# - Or manually comment out the problematic line
#
# =============================================================================
