Describe the feature

Add support for Android targets

Use Case

The Kivy tool can create portable Python applications that runs on Android.

It uses Python 4 android and buildozer to create the APK.

Proposed Solution

I guess this is something possible because the aws-c-* already compiles for Android, to create aws-crt-java for Android.

But the builder.json config disables android with a comment disabled until we have a reason to support python on android, so perhaps this is a reason ;-)

Other Information

P4A is supposed to support compiling C extensions from sources using recipes. I tried it but faced many problems, the particular way pthreads are handled on Android (cmake fails to detect it) and cross-compiling issues (the ARCH wrongly detected). After reading #444 I realized that this isn't trivial.
