Architecture variants for F-Droid

[SebiderSushi]

As stated in another issue, version 5.0.1 now contains ffmpeg libraries to parse metadata.
Since F-Droid does not support app bundles, users are left to download and install an apk file that contains libraries for all supported architectures. This currently implies an apk size of 85MB, while previous apks where even smaller than 5MB.

However, F-Droid supports building and publishing apk variants by architecture. That way, F-Droid users could be given the option to download and install just what's necessary for their architecture even without app bundle or split-apk support by F-Droid.

I commented on the fdroid issue for supporting app bundles.

I'd rather not complicate the build process but instead have fdroid handle this.

allows just fine, the only gotcha is that each arch needs it's own separate versionCode, eg. if versionCode is 123 then armv7 gets 12301, arm64 gets 12302, etc.
