Update gradle, android gradle plugin and dependencies

[fornwall]

Updates:

• Gradle from 7.2 to 8.10.2
• The Android Gradle plugin from 4.2.2 to 8.7.2 (note that this change requires gradle to be run with java 17)
• NDK used to build the native code from 22.1.7171670 (r22b) to 27.2.12479018 (r27c)
• Updates several java library dependencies to their latest versions

Note that I haven't been able to test on Android versions older than 7, as I don't have a device with that version, and the Android emulator dies directly on startup for these versions (on arm mac, perhaps due to only 32-bit arm being available for old Android versions).

I plan on getting back to plugin app updates next week so will look into pushing the related local changes for termux app for this too. Some of these changes are not required and some dependency updates will require testing. If I couldn't get to it next week, then will let you know, then you can merge this, I will sort out my conflicts later.
