[Android-tools-devel] android gradle plugins setup

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I think we can do it using the same mechanism as gradle's "standard
plugins":
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/standard_plugins.html

Those are the plugins that come with the gradle binary zips.  I imagine
its just a standard path that we can customize with a patch or some
other way.
