Upgrade to Gradle 7.x and NDK r23b

[feiyunw]

Upgrade to Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.3, Gradle 7.3, Android SDK Build Tools 30.0.2, set ndkVersion to 23.1.7779620 (r23b) and Java compatibility to VERSION_1_8.

The additions in app/build.gradle were done by Android Studio "File->Project Structure" dialog.

I built an APK release with android-studio-2020.3.1.25-windows on Windows 10. It was tested on my Android 7.0 (Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+) and Android 11 (Vivo X70 Pro+). Both look good.

FYI:

Cannot add task 'wrapper' as a task with that name already exists
How to specify source and target compatibility in Java module?

@StoddardOXC can you check if this is compatible with the build farm?

[StoddardOXC]

Buildfarm worker is now at

• Android NDK/SDK r19
• OpenJDK 1.8.0_191-8u191-b12-2ubuntu0

Do we lose any compatability with older devices?
What issues does this upgrade solve?

I can fire up a worker with those versions no problem, but is it worth it?

[StoddardOXC]

@MeridianOXC Barring any obvious loss of support for older devices I recommend you make a branch with this PR merged, then I fix up a worker and a build for this, then test the resulting artifacts.

Thank you for the android version. Can you update it to 8.3 version of the OXCE mod please?

I update the android version with every major release.
