Our emulator unit tests currently run against Android 4.3 (or 4.2) using emulator binaries from the sdk circa api 18. There are various barriers to running tests in a modern environment, like Android 7.0. There are various advantages to running tests in a modern environment (relevance, more features, potential performance improvements).

This bug has served its purpose, and tracked a lot of work in 2018. Today we have an android-em-7.0-x86 test platform with fast emulators on packet.net, and the android-hw-* test platforms for performance and special purpose testing on hardware. geckoview test apps are explicitly supported. We can even (finally!) run web-platform tests on android.

There's more to do -- greening more test suites, possibly reducing traditional aws emulator tests, etc. -- but we've done more than we set out to do - yeah!
