Description

Description

As discussed in https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/pull/5250, we want to leverage additional properties to more easily manage Android version numbers in the gradle files generated as part of the Android API client.

We want to replace android version number with {{androidVersionNumber}} tag in the mustache templates so that users can set it directly via --additional-properties when generating the API clients.

Research direction
Look at the discussion in PR #5250 for context. Search for the mustache templates that contain Android version numbers, likely in the Android client generator module. Replace the hardcoded version with a template variable (e.g., {{androidVersionNumber}}) and add the additional property definition in the config. Ensure backward compatibility with default values.
