This only adds support for a subset of Play Asset Delivery: this causes a single install-time asset pack to always be present, but doesn't add support for dynamically downloaded asset packs.
This is done by providing API access to app specific directories which don't have any limitations and allows us to bump the target sdk version to 30.
In addition, we're also bumping the min sdk version to 19 as version 18 is no longer supported by Google Play Services and only account of 0.3% of Android devices.
It can be turned off in the export preset with `package/classify_as_game`.

Also fixes replacing `android:allowBackup` in custom builds.
In addition, add support for scaling and applying filter to the splash screen on Android.
One limitation of the api being used is that the splash screen aspect ratio is not maintained when it's scaled up.
This is what GitHub Actions now provide and they removed the previous 21.3.6528147.
A bit annoying to have our hand forced this way but it's still 21.x so should be good
to upgrade.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
The issue was caused by PR #36906 which changes prevented the generated shared libraries from being stripped.
Since the change is only needed for development (debugging) purposes, it's commented out by default.
With the NDK installed locally, gradle plugin 3.6.0 seems to enforce
a specific older NDK version, and will fail building if you don't have
it installed with:
```
No version of NDK matched the requested version 20.0.5594570.
Versions available locally: 21.0.6113669
```
