Using more recent versions of the Android NDK results in a build failure
saying something like "No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder
for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android". Mips support went away
after Android NDK, Revision r17c, and we are using r18b at this moment.
Too old Gradle stuff gets confused by this.
The solution is simple. Use a newer version of the Gradle plugin.

At this point in time there seems something wrong with jcenter that
is used to download all Android build artifacts from. It simply does
not find the needed stuff on there and our build fails. Its unclear
if this is a temporary issue at jcenter, or its just an intended change.
This fix is a bit of a hack. It provides our own gradle build spec
instead of the one that is provided from Qt (which is pulled in using
androiddeployqt). Added is a working download link to maven, and a
newer com.android.tools.build:gradle is used compared to Qt.
All this makes Travis happy again.
