Use rules_android in Android tutorial

This change updates [Bazel Android Tutorial](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/tutorial/android-app.html) to use [rules_android](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android) so that users aren't exposed to the deprecated native rules and are better prepared for the future use of [rules_android](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android).

Caveat: I had to use commit instead of a tag for [rules_android](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android) since it hasn't been released in a while even though it gets changed.

Closes #9220.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
