Android: Increase target/compiled SDK version to 32

[srifqi]

Goal of the PR
This PR increases target/compiled SDK version to 32 and also updates Build Tools, NDK, and Gradle for Android build.

How does the PR work?

• Target/compiled SDK version: 30 -> 32
• Android Build Tools: 30.0.3 -> 32.0.0
• Android NDK: 23.2.8568313 -> 25.1.8937393 (r25b)
• Gradle: 7.2 -> 7.3.3
• Android Gradle plugin (for Build Tools): 7.0.3 -> 7.2.2
• Change jcenter() to mavenCentral()
• androidx.appcompat:appcompat: 1.3.1 -> 1.5.1

I tested before and found that the minetest/minetest_android_deps still works with this higher version. It is optional to be the same version as this PR (NDK r25b).

Does it resolve any reported issue?
Yes, this PR tries to fix failed build on GitHub Action. The error message is as below:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':native:extractReleaseAnnotations'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':native:lintClassPath'.
   > Could not determine artifacts for org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:3.0.7: Skipped due to earlier error

I am not sure whether this is the correct way to fix it, but this is good as a periodic dependencies update.

Another thing to note is that Google Play will require updates to be targeting 31+ since 1 November 2022.

Does this relate to a goal in the roadmap?
Probably, this PR tries to fix a continuous integration (CI) problem and to fulfil Google Play's requirement.

To do

This PR is Ready for Review.

How to test

1. Compile Minetest for Android.
2. There should be no compilation error and no regression.

ok for me

Not too sure about mismatching NDK versions but if you say it works..

[srifqi]

Thank you for the merge! While it is optional, we can update the NDK version to be r25b for the minetest/minetest_android_deps repository just to be safe.

From the NDK changelog:

That means since this PR we have lost support for Android 4.1 - 4.3, I checked Google Play and this is <1% of our install base.
So I don't think it's a problem but it should be made explicit by raising minSdkVersion.

[srifqi]

Oh, I did not notice that! I have not tested it in devices older than Android 6.0.1 (API level 23, 2015) because I only have Android 6.0.1 and Android 13.

Sure. Can you open a PR to increase our minimum api level properly?

I suggest increasing min API to 21 at least, it reduces our testing requirements
