Android tools: remove mtime-modifications

The Android tools no longer modify output file
mtimes in hopes of achievening better action
cache hits.

Modifying the mtimes was confusing Bazel and
causing correctness bugs.

Modifying the mtimes is unnecessary because Bazel
is smart about picking up filesystem changes and
observes more signals than just the mtime, though
as the corresponding bug shows it's sadly not
bullet-proof.
