Android support

With the current breakthrough from the Beeware project it is now possible to have flexx run on Android on iOS since all we need is a webview and a network connection. Since beeware's breakthrough allows almost all pure python code to work, the only feature that might need work is changing the webview it runs on. Is this desired work?

That would certainly be interesting! I don't have the time to lead such an effort right now, but contributions to make this happen are welcome :) I'm not sure what this would look like. I imagine there should be a compilation step of some sorts, so maybe it's better to implement this as a new project (which we can include in the flexxui org)?

Looking into beeware's tutorial, they use their packaging tool, briefcase that knows how to build apps for Linux, iOS, and android. I think we could leverage it to do the whole packaging.
