We include this dep in our examples, but never mentioned it in the README.
Instead of getting into details about what it's for, the brief comment should
avoid most confusion for existing Java 8 users about why it appears to be
unnecessary.
This resolves#5523
While bumping `com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2` to `3.3.0`, some other plugins/artifacts/maven repo/buildscripts have to be updated:
- gradle (wrapper) need to upgrade to 4.10.x
- protobuf gradle plugin need to bump a version compatible with gradle version.
- need add `google()` and `jcenter()` repos for android (otherwise `com.android.tools.build:aapt2:3.3.0x` and `trove4j` will not be found resp.)
- need to accept license for Android "build-tools;28.0.3" in kokoro env.
For security, we should change http into https links.

Reorganize the README to flow better for new users, pointing them in
good directions. Also try to reduce the size so they actually read the
thing. It's still to long, but is a step in the right direction.
Fixes#4615
The version bump happened in some places already, but many references
were missed.
This fixes the following warning that shows up with newer versions of
Gradle:
> Using TaskInputs.file() with something that doesn't resolve to a File
> object has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle
> 5.0. Use TaskInputs.files() instead.
grpc-netty is still really useful, but for most users who aren't doing
anything advanced using grpc-netty-shaded is much safer from a
dependency basis.
grpc-netty-shaded has seen more usage and has shown itself to be stable
and reduce the number of conflicts due to Netty versions.
