Google have been releasing 'nonstandard' SDK versions for a while. Named
things like CANARY, UpsideDownCake, 36x, and so on, androidenv has been
generally unable to use them, instead preferring Google's officially
supported Android SDKs corresponding to the
[API levels](https://apilevels.com/) (e.g. "35" or "36").
Updates to those SDK versions have generally come in the form of
updates to Google's repositories that repo.json picks up.
These are mostly noneventful for end users, unless a user experienced a
bug in an API definition, then it tended to be picked up with an
androidenv repo update.
API 36.1 changes this. It's not just a number (so it doesn't correspond
to a unique API level). The previous attempt in #470569 simply preferred
the newer version to attempt to emulate the old behavior.
Unfortunately, this now requires a Gradle change (see #472561). So this
means we should just support all the strange SDK versions now and have a
test for it.
Note that only depending on "latest" (the default) will properly pick
these up as the latest, but using a min and max SDK version or
numLatestPlatformVersions > 1 will create a range of SDK versions as
before, which means you may miss (e.g.) 36.1 but will still have 36.
Considering that this requires `compileSdk "android-36.1"`
instead of a simple `compileSdk 36` in Gradle, it's recommended to
explicitly specify platformVersions if you depend on this change,
or use the defaults, where it will only install the latest.
