Add Android build configurations for Mono/Libraries #33881
Conversation
Dynamically load the libicu from the system. Android NDK doesn't ship with icu headers so for now define prototypes for all the functions we use ourselves.
We still need to hook up the native System.Security.Native library. Unblocks Xamarin.Forms startup.

Thanks @akoeplinger, the status of build with At some point, we can try to converge the few remaining differences and make It would be great if we get CI coverage to preserve this good state. Maybe just compile native parts, skipping restore, managed components, tests and artifacts publishing etc. which today takes 7-10 minutes tops for coreclr, libraries and installer combined; including the creation of rootfs itself, which takes 1.5 to 2 minutes. |

@am11 yes, @directhex will be working on setting up CI for our Android builds. Regarding the build-android-rootfs.sh, our plan was to update the Docker images that are used on the CI pipeline to include the Android NDK so the dotnet/runtime build doesn't need to download it as part of the build. The script is still useful for local developer builds though :) |

This adds support for Android using the Mono runtime to the build system.
I'm only adding the build integration right now, CI support will be done separately.
@am11 I know this overlaps with some of your work on CoreCLR for Android but I tried to keep it mostly separate (we don't use the cross build logic here so CROSS_ROOTFS isn't set for us). It will probably need some changes and I'm happy to talk with how we should enable that in the future as our (Xamarin) goals are different in some areas.
