Generate a boilerplate Android library project

User story

As an Android library contributor,
I want to automate build, test, and deployment tasks with Gradle
In order to focus on my product instead of my project.

Acceptance criteria

This is the android-lib:boilerplate sub-generator, which provides the build, test, and deployment tasks with *.gradle files, as well as an Android Studio directory structure.

• 1. Build an .aar binary from a CLI.
• 2. Unit test Java source code from a CLI.
• 3. Run functional tests from a CLI.
• 4. Generate test status and coverage reports.
• 5. Publish an Android library to Bintray.
