Add support for Android as a target platform #116622
Description
I am now working on PEP 738, which proposes adding Android as a Tier 3 supported platform for Python 3.13. I'll use this page to track all the issues related to this work.
This was previously managed at #71052, but most of that issue's history is now irrelevant, so I'm opening a fresh one.
Android-related issues which were open before the PEP 738 work began:
- android: add platform.android_ver() #71042
- Add platform.android_ver() to test.pythoninfo for Android platforms #76391
- test_uuid: test_getnode and test_windll_getnode fail if connected to the Internet via an Android phone #75824
- UDPLITE tests fail on android #83032
- Odd handling of signal raised if an illegal syscall is attempted on Android #91028
- Cross Compile for Android and issues with PyExc_OSError #111225
Issues added during the PEP 738 work:
grpmodule attempts to build even ifgetgrentfamily of functions are unavailable #114875test_walk_above_recursion_limituses absolute limits #116057
PRs from the PEP 738 work which are not linked to one of these issues will be listed below.

I think this ticket can now be closed - can you confirm?I see now you've got it set up to autoclose when python/peps#3982 is merged.
