Modified android-configure script to support also x86 arch.
Currently added support only for ia32 target arch.
Also, compile openssl without asm, since using the asm sources will make
node fail to run on Android, because it adds text relocations.

The introduction of libuv 1.6.0 broke the android-configure script by
not specifying the correct platform. uv_os_homedir uses getpwuid_r
which was not made public until API level 21 on android.
The regression was introduced in a804026...b5cd2f0

Snapshots speed up start-up by a few milliseconds but are potentially
dangerous because of the fixed hash seed that is used for strings and
dictionaries, making collision denial-of-service attacks possible.
Release builds on iojs.org have snapshots disabled but source builds
did not, until now.
The risk for individual source builds is low; the binary gets a random
32 bits hash seed that should be hard to guess by an external attacker.
It's when binaries are distributed by, for example, a distro vendor
that the fixed hash seed becomes a vulnerability, because then it's
possible to target a large group of people at once.
People that really need the faster start-up time can use the new
--with-snapshot configure flag.

Resolves minor discrepancies between android and standard POSIX systems.
In addition, some configure parameters were added, and a helper-script
for android configuration. Ideally, this script should be merged into
the standard configure script.
To build for android, source the android-configure script with an NDK
path:
source ./android-configure ~/android-ndk-r8d
This will create an android standalone toolchain and export the
necessary environment parameters.
After that, build as normal:
make -j8
After the build, you should now have android-compatible NodeJS binaries.
