Update to 1.12.7 bumps minSdkVersion to 26 on Android

[AlvaroBrey]

Prerequisites

• I am running the latest version
• I checked the documentation and found no answer
• I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

Expected Behavior

Upgrade to 1.12.7 from 1.12.5 in a project with minSdk 23, everything keeps working. I would expect no breaking changes due to this being a patch release.

Current Behavior

Test build fails due to incompatible minSdk. See stacktrace.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an Android project with minSdk = 23
2. Use mockK 1.12.7

Context

• MockK version: 1.12.7
• OS: Linux
• Kotlin version: 1.6.21
• JDK version: 11.0.13
• JUnit version: 4.13.2
• Type of test: unit test OR android instrumented test: both

Stack trace

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processGenericDebugAndroidTestManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 23 cannot be smaller than version 26 declared in library [io.mockk:mockk-android:1.12.7] /home/user/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/0debc4558cb38f69fc40c4cac52d713c/transformed/jetified-mockk-android-1.12.7/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 23
        Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 23,
                or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 26,
                or use tools:overrideLibrary="io.mockk" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

I've had a quick stab #901, can you check?

If the GHA tests pass, can you try out the fix locally? Check out the branch from #901, deploy to Maven Local ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal, bump your MockK versions, and give it a go

I've verified that your PR fixes the situation for my setup 👍 .
However keep in mind that before 269a599, the minSdk was 21, not 23; so 1.12.7 will still be breaking for those on sdk 21 and 22.

@AlvaroBrey Thanks for noticing that it was 21, not 23!
