docs: Removed reference to Android Support Library
In the Android Studio world, devs download the Android Support
*Repository*, not the now-deprecated *Library*. Updated the prose
and a screenshot to reflect this. Did other cleanup to docs to make
them more consistent with the new Android Studio/Gradle world. (For
example, the process for adding a library is now the same whether
or not the library has resources, so I consolidated the two "adding
a library" sections, and removed the paragraphs from features.html
that specified whether or not a library had resources.)
Also fixed bad formatting of code snippets (once again, we got bit by
the {@code <} issue). Changed the {@code} tags to <code></code> to
fix it.
Other misc. fixes too, as they popped up in the review process.
See first comment for doc stage location.
