[Android] Change to MediaCodecList.getCodecInfos()

[joseluismarti]

Description

MediaCodecList object uses two static methods to get available codecs, these two methods are deprecated in API level 21.

I propose to use the non-static getCodecInfos() method instead, it returns a list of MediaCodecInfo objects.

The constructor has a parameter with two possible values:

• ALL_CODECS: Enumerate all codecs, even ones that are not suitable for regular (buffer-to-buffer) decoding or encoding, such as secure codecs (.secure).

• REGULAR_CODECS: Enumerate only codecs that are suitable for regular (buffer-to-buffer) decoding or encoding. These are the same codecs that are returned by the deprecated methods.

This PR depends on (xbmc/libandroidjni#34).

How has this been tested?

Runtime tested on AFTV (Android TV 9)

Two versions to test based on the constructor's parameters:
kodiapp-arm64-v8a-PR21421_ALL_CODECS.apk
kodiapp-arm64-v8a-PR21421_REGULAR_CODECS.apk
