Changes to Android build process

[Michael Thomsen]

Building for Android has changed from using a "pre-canned" build, to building with the same standard 'gradle-based' build process that Android Studio projects use. This makes it easier to edit the native Android code; after the upgrade you can now open the android folder in Android Studio, and it will know how to build the project, and will allow you to add and edit java code.

With this, we have removed the old legacy build support. Follow these steps to upgrade your existing projects to build with gradle:

The desupport of the non-gradle build landed in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/8793.

If you're using the "hello_services" approach, this change shouldn't affect you because you're already using the new approach.

Correct. Although in that case, it would be best to synchronize the contents of the two gradle files:

  Update /android/build.gradle with contents from /android/build.gradle

and 

  Update /android/app/build.gradle with contents from /android/app/build.gradle
