Improve Android SDK build configuration

- Change default build command to use 'swift build' instead of
  'swift build --build-system native' (the 4/27 snapshot contains
  the requisite changes for Android)
- Use the correct host toolchain for Android build/test
- Add mention of the specific host SDK being used to build

For Wasm, we want to wait until
swiftlang/swift-build#1348 lands before
unpinning.
