Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#30049: build, test, doc: Temporarily remove Android-related stuff
5deb0b024e14c7c63d405c651d1ca323560a1c21 build, test, doc: Temporarily remove Android-related stuff (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: 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for Android became unfeasible due to Qt 5.15's compatibility limitations with NDK only up to r25, which includes an outdated embedded libc++ (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/29360). All removed stuff will be reinstated after migrating the build system to CMake and upgrading Qt to version 6.x. This PR makes possible a clean migration to the CMake-based build system as it removes code, which is not used at this moment. ACKs for top commit: vasild: ACK 5deb0b024e14c7c63d405c651d1ca323560a1c21 fanquake: ACK 5deb0b024e14c7c63d405c651d1ca323560a1c21 - given none of this is currently tested/wont compile. Can be revisted in future. Tree-SHA512: 3bc2ccfe881e11cc1d78c27acd6f1d86cfba86821ef3bb5eca2e80d978fdfa13659ec82284dcaadc507e2394524dea91d4b8f81d0030c1cef9708df8be76bf07

-ANDROID BUILD NOTES
-======================
-
-This guide describes how to build and package the `bitcoin-qt` GUI for Android on Linux and macOS.
-
-
-## Dependencies
-
-Before proceeding with an Android build one needs to get the [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/studio) and use the "SDK Manager" tool to download the NDK and one or more "Platform packages" (these are Android versions and have a corresponding API level).
-
-The minimum supported Android NDK version is [r23](https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Changelog-r23).
-
-In order to build `ANDROID_API_LEVEL` (API level corresponding to the Android version targeted, e.g. Android 9.0 Pie is 28 and its "Platform package" needs to be available) and `ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN` (path to toolchain binaries depending on the platform the build is being performed on) need to be set.
-
-API levels from 24 to 29 have been tested to work.
-
-If the build includes Qt, environment variables `ANDROID_SDK` and `ANDROID_NDK` need to be set as well but can otherwise be omitted.
-This is an example command for a default build with no disabled dependencies:
-
- ANDROID_SDK=/home/user/Android/Sdk ANDROID_NDK=/home/user/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle make HOST=aarch64-linux-android ANDROID_API_LEVEL=28 ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN=/home/user/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin
-
-
-## Building and packaging
-
-After the depends are built configure with one of the resulting prefixes and run `make && make apk` in `src/qt`. \ No newline at end of file
