Relevant announcement from revision history for NDK 23 [1]:
> * GNU binutils, excluding the GNU Assembler (GAS), has been removed. GAS

Therefore, switch from uses of GNU binutils to the
corresponding LLVM tools instead.
NDK 20.x doesn't provide `llvm-ranlib` yet, so bump the minimum
version to 21.x.
Also drop the previous uses of `ANDROID_BINUTILS_PREBUILT_ROOT`,
which appear to no longer be relevant by now.

Date: Wed Nov 22 23:08:06 2017 +0100
android: use unified headers and llvm-c++ STL (x86) with NDK 16
gnustl (and others) are to be removed in future versions of the ndk
also bump gradle and build-tools to current versions along with it
arm unfortunately crashes with llvm-c++, so keep with gnustl for now/fix
that later
that introduced one of those uses mentions issues on ARM, but building
and running the app at least on my 32-bit ARM device (Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505,
LineageOS 17.1/Android 10) didn't show any issues in a quick test
with this change in place.
Update the Jenkins config to switch from the now no longer
supported NDK 20.1.5948944 to 23.2.8568313 for which building and
running the app has been tested on devices for all of the four
supported architectures with upcoming change
