build, test, doc: Temporarily remove Android-related stuff
Previously, our Android builds were geared towards generating APKs,
which relied on Qt. However, after migrating to C++20, compiling for
Android became unfeasible due to Qt 5.15's compatibility limitations
with NDK only up to r25, which includes an outdated embedded libc++.
All removed stuff will be reinstated after migrating the build system to
CMake and upgrading Qt to version 6.x."
