Hi folks,

The Android Gradle configuration now ships and uses Jake Wharton's
sdk-manager-plugin (https://github.com/JakeWharton/sdk-manager-plugin/).
The plugin downloads and fetches Android SDKs and dependent libraries at
build time.

Since |mach configure| ensures that the Android SDK is present and
up-to-date, local developers should not see any difference.

This has future value in two ways.  First, I'm using it to automatically
prepare Gradle dependencies for the buildbots.  Second, we should be able
to remove some of our |mach bootstrap| code and use this more robust
system.  Much longer term, we can get |mach configure| to check-and-fetch
dependencies automatically.

This all happened in Bug 1252928 [1].

tl;dr: you should see no changes.  Fly tickets if you suddenly start
downloading Android SDKs, please!

Nick
