[Android] Phase out older ARM architectures

Removed armv7 by default → Modern devices use arm64; keeping armv7 adds overhead.
Removed armv5 completely → Too old, rarely used, and complicates maintenance.

why don't we remove armv5, armv6, mips and mipsel entirely? they're now not compatible with 2025 standarts

If we are intending to support older ndks for now (see #1925), then it may make sense to leave in armv5

I doubt anyone would use armv5 anymore tho.

If we're going to drop support for armv5 and older NDKs, it would probably happen in a major release, like 9.0.0.
