Bundle Geode with Play Store build (#88)

* add gradle task to download geode binaries

* disable automatic update on play build

* get download url from release api

* fix incorrect priorities between external library and prebundled

* bundle geode resources
this also fixes the release api fetch as i never tested it until now, oops

* add message for loading from files dir

* raise minimum gd version with bundled geode

* clear old resources prior to copying
