Hi,

this patch adds support for screen mirroring Android phones on the desktops.

There are 2 remarks:

1. The Android part scrcpy-server is prebuild due to Guix not supporting gradle and Android builds. Without this the tool does not work.

OK, though then this is a draft patch that's blocked by supporting gradle and Android; Guix is a build-from-source distro (there are some bootstrap seeds, but the idea is to reduce them, not enlarge them).

Someone else has been looking into supporting Android (something about a longsoon-build-system), maybe you can test that, and I don't know if anyone has been looking at addressing the gradle problems.

Also, from a cursory look, I'm not seeing gradle there and neither am I seeing Android builds, maybe all that's needed is adding the adb package (which is packaged in Guix), no gradle or Android support needed, or I didn't look in the right places?

When building from source this is usually automatic, though I don't know if this applies to Gradle.

    Also, why are tests disabled?
