Mainly the default versions bump in this release:

• libdav1d 0.9.2
• libaom 3.2.0
• libfreetype 2.11.0
• libfribidi 1.0.11

This release now relies on Android NDK r23 (as the latest LTS release) with certain considerations of the upcomming changes in r24:

• Since GNU binutils support is ended, the script now supports only LLVM. Neither -binutils argument is supported;
• Clang is also used for AS and LD;
• The default Android API level to compile against is 19, though with NDK r23 it is still possible to use 16. Starting with NDK r24 APIs 16-18 will be removed;
• Make tool is used from NDK itself.

The NDK version used for this script is completely independant of the one that is used in actual Android project.
