Rationale:
API 22 & API 23 both account for an insignificant part of the market share.
While API 24 - API 26 has similar market share, we felt that bumping to API 26
from API 22 is too large of a jump.
Legacy devices may be completely out of support by Google and may not be able
to receive the latest webview version. As of writing, Chromium's latest
tag shows they are using a Min SDK version of 24. (Ref: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/tags/113.0.5653.1/build/config/android/config.gni#46)
Based on AOSP emulators, API 24 (Android 7.0) will ship with
Chrome 52 webview, which has good support for ECMAscript 2015 (ES6) (Ref: https://caniuse.com/?search=es6)
While in most cases, app users will likely have a modern webview vesion installed, this means
you can be confident that the app user will have a chrome webview version with good ES6 support,
even if they happen to be running on a factory versioned device.

* Correctly flag API dependency on AppCompat for Maven
Currently when cordova-android is published to Maven, it lists no
dependencies. However, `CordovaActivity` extends `AppCompatActivity`
which requires that the AndroidX AppCompat library be available.
Marking this as an API dependency (rather than an implementation/compile
dependency) should cause the AndroidX AppCompat library to be installed
when the cordova-android framework is added to the build.gradle of an
existing Android application.
* Publish to Maven with proper metadata
This allows the Maven publish to pick up information from the android
library component and include things like dependencies in the pom.xml
file.
