[guardian-dev] building orbot

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

If its possible to build with the existing build system, by only
switching the root commands library, that would be preferrable.  That
way we can keep the release build process, the Jenkins builds, etc. all
the same.

There can totally be a build.gradle setup in place there as well, while
leaving the old build system intact.  Then it can be edited using
Android Studio. Attached is a file that gets most of the way there.
