Reduce libICU size in Kiwix for Android

completed by: pp3345

mentors: Kelson

Kiwix integrates now a self-compiled libicu. This increases the size from ~1MB to ~20MB. See the bug report at https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/bugs/661/. Kiwix is a Wikipedia offline reader. This task is related to the new release of its Android mobile app. Instructions to compile the app can be found here (Android section). This requires knowledge of the Java programming language.

Students are required to read Wikimedia's general instructions first.
