[Support] specify our own Android SDK directory to buildozer

Versions

• Python:3.11.9
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• Buildozer: 1.5.0

Description

As we know on the run of very first project after installing buildozer, it downloads the Android SDK in it's directory ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk. Is there any option available which we can specify the path of our existing Android SDK.
This is because I had already setup my Flutter and installed Android SDK. I don't want to duplicate the same things which I already had on my PC.
