Since the credentials in the package are no longer valid, we're no
longer violating Google's Terms of Service.  And the package works if
you generate an AndroidID with dummydroid, and use your own credentials,
so its ready for testing.

Therefore, this bug can be downgraded in severity while we figure out
the best approach to handle this.  We will not be able to auto-generate
the AndroidID since dummydroid is a GUI-only process, so I don't think
its worth anything to prompt the user for their username/password in the
package install.  I think we can post a message saying you have to run
dummydroid or get credentials from elsewhere for this to work.  People
who want to use matlink's credentials are always free to get it from his
git repo.  You have to do that anyway, since the credentials change often.

No one seems willing to maintain the credentials in the package, so I
don't think its so useful right now.  If you set up credentials with
dummydroid, then they stay working.  There are even websites where
people share username/password combos for test accounts, one of those
could be used with dummydroid to generate the AndroidID in a much more
reliable way than including matlink's.
