./mach build on an android build only builds application code, but not tests. We should make ./mach build build everything that ./mach android build-geckoview_example builds too.

Around https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/96403eac4ff6f96f89a0b120b29bd46540d5705e/mobile/android/gradle.configure#127, add lines like

and maybe

mach build should build everything, including GVE and the tests.

This patch builds geckoview example app and the geckoview tests when you run ./mach build. It increases the export phase of the build process, but catches exceptions in both places and it Java and Kotlin.

This was addressed by Bug 1550146.
