Fix Android app build

[tkirshboim]

The 'AblLinkSample' Android app no longer builds. This has been reported in #18 and #31 and this PR resolves both issues.

Validation

I was able to build and run the AblLinkSample app using this branch by doing the following:

• Use Android Studio version "Chipmunk 2021.2.1".
• Clone this branch as described in the README file (remember to use the --recursive option when cloning).
• Open the 'AblLinkSample' folder in Android Studio.
• Run the app from Android Studio.

What was done

• Upgrade the Android Gradle plugin to the latest stable version that is also compatible with the latest stable version of Android Studio.
• Upgrade the Gradle wrapper version to the latest stable version and regenerate the wrapper code using ./gradlew wrapper.
• Remove unused test code and test dependencies.
• Replace usage of obsolete Android support libraries with up to date versions of those libraries.
• Raise min SDK version from 10 to 17. This is required because pd-for-android has a min SDK version of 17.
• Raise target SDK to 30 and add a permission declaration to AndroidManifest.xml to allow the app to run on Android API 30 devices and above.
• Change PdCore path in CMakeLists.txt to align with changes that were introduced to pd-for-android folder structure in https://github.com/libpd/pd-for-android/pull/94 .

This looks great. I had to make the same changes to get it to build as well. This PR looks good.

Did you mean to delete those two test .java files?

@danomatika Yes. Those were example test files that were not testing anything relevant for this repository.
