We were spending up to 30% of our CI time just on clearing up disk space for the compilation of our own code. It would be best if GitHub offered a bit more free disk space on their runners, but unfortunately they only guarantee 14 GB.

This PR changes the step that deletes the Android SDK (~10GB) to run in the background. AFAICT this does not seem to significantly affect the performance of the other steps in the workflow, but it does mean that we no longer spend 3-4 minutes just deleting files before we actually start to work on something useful (download crates, compiling crates, testing our code).
