New step: Android Build for UI Testing

Do you need to run instrumentation tests for your Android app? We have a new step for you.

This step will generate all the APKs you'll need to run instrumentation tests for your Android app: both an APK from your app and the belonging test APK.

The step will build your Android project via Gradle along with the appropriate AndroidTest variant.
E.g: gradlew ":app:assembleDemoDebug" ":app:assembleDemoDebugAndroidTest"
