Document minimum system requirements for uProxy on Android

[bemasc]

High-end Android phones seem to be able to run uProxy with acceptable behavior. Low-end phones do not. We'll need to figure out where the boundary is, and document it for users.

This probably is related to deciding the minimum android API level we're targeting. There are many fewer Low-end phones running Android 5.0, if we need that anyway.

Yes, Android API version matters, and this is tied to the choice of whether to use Crosswalk or native webview. In my testing, uProxy works with the native webview on Android L and later, whereas with Crosswalk it works with K (and probably several previous releases) too.

Without crosswalk, our .apk is about 4 MB. With Crosswalk, it's an order of magnitude larger.
