Android status

[Bruno Haible]

On Android, a testdir of all of Gnulib now compiles fine. The conflicts
with libc.so are resolved. The only failing tests at this point are
  test-getloadavg
  test-login_tty
  test-nstrftime

So, it's time to update the documentation.

	doc: Update list of target platforms.
	* doc/gnulib-intro.texi (Supported Platforms): Mark musl libc, Android,
	and MSVC as "occasionally tested". Update the version numbers of some
	OSes. Combine paragraphs regarding mingw and MSVC.
	(Formerly Supported Platforms): Mark AIX 5, 6 as "formerly supported".
