Enhance Quick-Start Documentation and NDK compatiblity ?

[gajanak]

Hi, at first thanks for this usefull template.

Perhaps this hels someone using this as base.

Documentation Quick-Start: Installting android sdk,ndk,platforms using dpkg/apt sample: apt install google-android-ndk-r25-installer install google-android-platform-30-installer google-android-build-tools-33.0.0-installer

for jarsigner: apt install openjdk-19-jdk-headless

Using Build Tools > 22

The sysroot moved to <NDK>/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt//sysroot starting with NDK r19. r22 removed the deprecated sysroot and platforms directories from the top-level of the NDK.

So this dirty hack to Sdk.zig are working (not perfect but perhaps a Hint for anyone with more experience):
