How to compile Godot Editor for Android

[AndyAnon14]

Godot version: 3.5

Issue description: Would like to see a guide on how to compile the Godot Editor for Android. The current guide only shows how to compile an Android Template, and not the full editor.

URL to the documentation page: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/development/compiling/compiling_for_android.html

To compile the editor for Android, the two changes you need to make to the build steps are:

1. Use the tools=yes target=release_debug SCons option.
2. Use ./gradlew generateGodotEditor instead of ./gradlew generateGodotTemplates in platform/android/java to create the APK.
