API level 32 is Android 12L, not Android 13. #8

See https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/12L/overview for details.

Good catch @bc-lee. I updated the row to list Android 12L instead of Android 13. I wonder though, is Android 12L just a marketing term for Android 12.1? I see the L in 12L refers to "large" screens, but it seems that 12L can also be installed on Google Pixel so I'm not sure what the versioning/numbering strategy will be here.

I'm not a Google Insider, so I don't know for sure, but looking at the description, it seems to be a déjà vu of Android 4.4W (API level 20). As with API level 20, the difference in public APIs between API levels 31 and 32 is very small. The difference between the public APIs between API levels 26 (O) and 27 (O_MR1) is much greater than that in API level 32. So, I think Google is releasing it without even a minor version upgrade. Note that Android 12L (API level 32) uses 'Build.VERSION_CODES.S_V2', not 'T'.

I see, thanks @bc-lee! I updated the website, please let me know if there are any additional changes I should make. I combined the Android 12 and 12L rows with the correct version codes now and added back a separate Android 13 row with T/Tiramisu.

I don't think we need to change it right now. Thank you!
