1. ndk-build,cargo-apk: Default target_sdk_version to 30 or lower …

   As discussed in [197] setting `target_sdk_version` to the "arbitrary"
   highest available SDK version is nonsense.  This target version (unlike
   `min_sdk_version` which defines the least set of symbols that should be
   available) has real impact on the runtime of an application, in
   particular the compatibility or stringency of rules Android applies to
   your application.  Certain APIs may not work at all or be heavily
   restricted on newer target versions because they are deemed too
   dangerous, and Android expects the user has tested their app against
   these limitations and is communicating this by setting
   `target_sdk_version` to that particular value.  Hence this shouldn't
   change purely based on the environment, even for the default.
   
   To retain some backwards compatibility with previous `cargo-apk` we set
   this to level 30 which is the least [required by Google Play] today, and
   exactly what users will have been targeting using NDK r22 (assuming the
   SDK for this `platform` was installed as well) since SDK version 31
   support with NDK r23 only [arrived just last week].
