Android and console JNI buildbot recipes for FreeIntv

[markwkidd]

@recompileorg 's new FreeIntv Intellivision emulator is now available across a number of platforms thanks to @orbea 's PR: #708

However those of us who have been working to get FreeIntv setup don't have experience with buildbot recipes for Android and the various consoles that require JNI.

Is anyone with more experience available to take a look at FreeIntv and see if it is possible to build for the missing platforms?

I have never written one but it should be enough to copy these two files:

https://github.com/libretro/snes9x/blob/master/libretro/jni/Android.mk
https://github.com/libretro/snes9x/blob/master/libretro/jni/Application.mk

If you're lucky you may not need to change anything

Thanks @fr500 . I have duplicated those two files into FreeIntv/jni

At this point, am I right that to complete setup for building Android cores we will also need to add new lines to sections to every recipe in the android folder here? https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super/tree/master/recipes/android

No, just the cores-jni one

They built now, can someone test them?

@orbea has Android testing been done?

Currently I can't get the core to Load in the RA gui. Thus unable to test.

Testing on Samsung S7, RA build 26/12/17 so a little old.

Updated core, info and databases
Loading content crashes retroarch

@thatman84 I think you are the first Android tester.

I see from your forums post that FreeIntv is perhaps crashing not only as a core, but causing RA itself to crash? That is the first report of such a bug, but again it's not clear how many people have tried FreeIntv in Android yet at all.

The odd thing is if I try to manually load the core before any content it is not registered at all. Shows "Main Menu (No Core)"
