Factor out core and android packages

Take first step in trying to define a common core across future Ubuntu
devices by defining two new seeds and metapackages:

    - ubuntu-touch-core
    - ubuntu-touch-android

And make existing ubuntu-desktop-next and ubuntu-touch depend on them
as needed.

We need separate 'core' and 'android' seeds because 'touch' can run on
both armhf and x86, and therefore cannot make any architecture assumptions.

At the same time, we do not want to pull android/hybris related packages
into 'desktop-next'. Hence, the above split.

###

Note: I'm hoping to get a careful review of the STRUCTURE file to ensure I defined the two new seeds correctly. I am never entirely sure how the inheritance of the STRUCTURE file works. Since touch inherits from 'core' and 'android', and that desktop inherits from 'core', I would have expected the change in the metapackage to be smaller.

I also did not expect that I would have to manually add ubuntu-touch-core and ubuntu-touch-android as explicit Depends in debian/control...

But I think germinate tries to be smart about overlapping packages or something, and that is why the debdiff is huge:

In any case, feedback is appreciated.

Thanks.
