Currently the uiauto library is built on top of the deprecated android.support
libraries. Create an updated uiauto library (uiauto-androidx) using androidx
and keep it alongside the old one for compatibility reasons.
As we update workload-automation going forward, we should update the workloads
to use the androidx version of uiauto.
This has been tested with the latest gradle version available at the time
(8.8).
The older versions of the plugin caused problems building with newer
NDK versions due to a lack of MIPS support.
This also required upgrading to a version of Gradle that knows about
the Google Maven repository.
