Deprecate the Android studio dev buildtype

The project is setup in Android Studio with three buildtypes:
- `release` for release builds of the engine
- `debug` for debug builds of the engine with `dev_mode`, `dev_build`, and `debug_symbols` disabled
- `dev` for debug builds of the engine with `dev_mode`, `dev_build`, and `debug_symbols` enabled

This commit deprecates and removes the `dev` buildtype and instead enables `dev_mode`, `dev_build`, and `debug_symbols` for the `debug` buildtype when building with Android Studio.

The `release` buildtype has also been updated such that a `release` build built with Android Studio and signed with non-production keys can be installed side-by-side with a production-signed release (e.g: from the store).
