[Android] buildsystem: remove usage of GRADLE_VLC_SRC_DIRS

[Steve Lhomme]

vlc-android | branch: master | Steve Lhomme <robux4 at ycbcr.xyz> | Thu Jun 12 09:56:03 2025 +0200| [a382cce22146b9bd80a2c6fbf08e4ffee8f3f1a4] | committer: Duncan McNamara

buildsystem: remove usage of GRADLE_VLC_SRC_DIRS

In libvlcjni VLC_OUT_PATH is set to <vlc>/build-android-<triplet>/ndk and only contains temporary files:
- libvlcjni-modules.c
- libvlcjni-symbols.c
They are not used in the java build.

There is not VLC_OUT_PATH/libs folder after libvlcjni is built.
libvlcjni.so is in libvlcjni/jni/libs which we already handle.

And when building in Android Studio we would add a folder "null" in the srcDir (via libvlcjni/libvlc/build.gradle).
