[vtkusers] How to build VTK 7.0.0 for android?

[Ken Martin]

Currently we use the build process in VTK for applications, meaning that we
take the examples in VTK/Examples/Android and edit them and then build VTK
to get the examples built as well. The resulting executables are in
CMakeExternals/Build/vtk-android/Examples/Android/...

You can add VTK as a library into android studio but last I heard the
process involves hand editing build files etc and it is not something I am
familiar with.
