Release Android v5.2.0-beta.2

[Guardiola31337]

In preparation for release v5.2.0 of the Mapbox Android SDK, we're releasing today the second beta (v5.2.0-beta.2) in the 5.2.x series. This release brings major features and numerous bug fixes. The main features included with this release are support for Android asynchronous rendering (#9576) and the new Android snapshotter (#9748)

Please note that this is a pre-release version intended to gather early feedback on the new APIs and to detect any potential issues (you can report them here). This release is not intended for production apps.
