Migrate to Material Design/AndroidX

[guger]

Use Material Chips and AndroidX dependencies.

[d3roch4]

is compatible with androidx?

[guger]

@d3roch4 It is compatible, since the jetifier plugin will do the migration work, but the library doesn't depend on the latest standards of android development.

[guger]

I'll try to use ChipDrawable instead of the libraries Chip/ChipSpan as well as updating all dependencies to their related AndroidX dependency (e.g. to support the new AppCompat 1.1.0 features).

Before starting that, I'd like to hear your opinion if this is feasible and if you're fine with those changes.
Maybe you've some helpful hints?

@fatihsokmen Do you have further plans like continuing development of this library?

[fatihsokmen]

@guger not sure soon.
