[vcpkg] Improve Android doc (triplets, usage with cmake and prefab) (#11264 )

* Android: add docs/examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake/

* Add docs/users/android.md

* Improve Android prefab doc

Following additional informations given by @atkawa7 at
https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/11264

* Link to android.md
* Update the prefab usage instructions: "vcpkg install"
    the 4 archs before exporting a prefab
* added --prefab-debug flag
* added gradle integration info
* reviewed the prefab output directory structure
  (from a dump of an actual export)

* docs/users/triplets.md: link to android.md

* docs/index.md: link to android.md

* android.md: specify 2 possibiities for android_ndk_home

* Added examples/vcpkg_android_example_cmake_script/cmake/vcpkg_android.cmake

Usage:

1. Main CMakeLists:
  if (VCPKG_TARGET_ANDROID)
      include("cmake/vcpkg_android.cmake")
  endif()

2. cmake invocation:
  cmake .. -DVCPKG_TARGET_ANDROID=ON -DANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a

* trigger pipeline build

Vcpkg: export Android prefab Archives (AAR files)

Vcpkg can export android archives (AAR files). Once an archive is created, it can imported in Android Studio as a native dependent. The archive is automatically consumed using android studio's prefab tool.

For more information on Prefab, refer to:

The official prefab documentation.
a blog post from Android developers blog: Native Dependencies in Android Studio 4.0

Note for Android Studio users: prefab packages are supported on Android Studio 4+

Requirements

ndk <required>

Set environment variable ANDROID_NDK_HOME to your android ndk installation. For example:

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/your-account/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle

7zip <required on windows> or zip <required on linux>
maven <optional>
Android triplets

See android.md for instructions on how to install the triplets.

Please note that in order to use "prefab" (see below), the four architectures are required. If any is missing the export will fail

Example exporting [jsoncpp]

First "vcpkg install" the 4 android architectures (it is mandatory to export all 4 of them)

./vcpkg install jsoncpp:arm-android  jsoncpp:arm64-android  jsoncpp:x64-android  jsoncpp:x86-android

Then, export the prefab:

Note:

The --prefab-maven flag is optional. Call it if you maven is installed.
The --prefab-debug flag will output instructions on how to use the prefab archive via gradle.

./vcpkg export --triplet x64-android jsoncpp --prefab --prefab-maven --prefab-debug

You will see an ouput like this:

The following packages are already built and will be exported:
    jsoncpp:arm64-android
