Backport 1477259 - Use different Android Version Codes in x86 and aarch64 packages

Description

In Fennec 60, Mozilla assigned the x86 and aarch64 packages identical version codes. Mozilla didn't upload aarch64 packages onto Google Play (or any other app store), so they never noticed the conflict. They resolved this in bug 1477259 by changing how the version numbers are computed, but it landed after 60esr and it wasn't uplifted. Now we need this patch before ​August 1.

I pushed a patch, but building tor-android-service is failing.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine a usable local IP for this machine.

The branch for this backport is bug31260_0, in case someone can try it.

Could you file a bug so we can track this down? Or is that just a local issue for you (but even then it might be worth putting the issue at least in a README or something in case someone else is stumbling over it)?

The patch looks good. I'll post links to bundles so you can test-feed them to Google to check whether we need more than this patch in a release.
