More accessible build process

mjsir911 commented 5 years ago

This patch attempts to modify the build process to be easier to run and maintain. Heavily inspired by notes in issue #160

The app compiles and installs, but the localization is stuck in chinese and libpython2.7.so is not found, so I cannot test it 100%

Build tested under gradle 4.10.1 and gradle-5.2.1

Overview of changes

Bumped failing versions of various dependencies
Stopped failing on error on linting
Removed depracated options
Modified build process to not rely on developer's hardcoded paths (local.properties)

If you can point me to how to get localization up and running or libpython, I can test further

cc @cetygamer, you seemed to have a grasp on the build process
