apkbuilder has been deprecated for a very long time. There is no new
command to replace it.

I'll have to see if we can put it back but as we are moving away from Ant
to Gradle, we may not be able to keep this.

Note that the only thing that this does is packaging files together in a
zip file (with .apk extension). You could do it all manually.
