Pull request overview
Marks a set of bound Java constructors (that no longer exist on supported Android API levels) as deprecated via src/Mono.Android/metadata, so consumers get compile-time guidance instead of NoSuchMethodError at runtime.
Changes:
- Added metadata
<attr ... name="deprecated">...</attr>entries to obsolete removed parameterless constructors across several Android namespaces. - Documented the rationale in the metadata file near the existing “Google API breakage” section.

Mark 15 public constructors removed before the minimum supported Android API level as obsolete through binding metadata, including WebKit constructors whose containing types were removed and therefore lack removed-since annotations.

Mark the 11 bound constructors that Android removed before the current minimum supported API level as obsolete.
The current API profile was rescanned through API level 24; no additional public or protected constructors require this treatment.
Closes #5172
