[Android] Update `compileSdkVersion` to 28 and introduce `AndroidX`

See original GitHub issue

Android had introduced sdk 28 with supporting libraries replaced by androidx. Many maintained libraries, like com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper that we’re using have already made this migration. Unfortunately we’re unable to use them because of dependency hell that happens when we’re having different compileSdkVersion.

Proposal: update compileSdkVersion to 28 and replace all deprecated android-support-* libraries with androidX. Moreover some cleanup is advisable in gradle files as well.

Did this happen/is there some other tracking issue I can follow? Or is it dependent on https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/23112 and nothing for expo itself to do?

I’m closing this issue as it’s been solved already - we’ve migrated to AndroidX on master a few days ago: #5521, so the next SDK will use it 🙂
