use extractNativeLibs="false" for less disk usage and faster installation
no need to extract the (huge) nativve lib to the device's filesystem on newer android versions (Marshmallow and later) - can access the .so from within the apk if it is uncompressed. While the standalone apk will be larger, the delta-update mechanism of playstore can be more efficient, so you get: * faster installation (since the file doesn't need to be extracted) * less disk usage on device (for same reason) * smaller delta-updates for playstore drawbacks * larger standalone apk * on older android version more storage needed (the increased size of the standalone apk), as those will still extract the native-lib Unfortunately uncompressed it exceeds the current maximum size for single apk files in playstore (100MB), so cannot use for release-builds also revive installLocation attribute to allow installation on external storage and move from manifestPlaceholders from defaultConfig to release buildType (as otherwise gradle complains about having "Multiple entries with same key") Change-Id: Id07ac9c144886bb89abaf7b5b4bc7bd548f27247
