Description

@voidstarstar
Conscrypt library alone (also with maximum compression) is bigger then the entire GmsCore, I think it would be better as separate apk.
As bonus it could be put on F-Droid default repository and updated without updating GmsCore (improving security earlier).
PS: It would be nice to update conscrypt to 2.1.0 since it include fixes for broken use of TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV that may cause problems with TLS 1.3 servers.
PS2: The code must be excluded for armeabi (NOT v7) since the library isn't included.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Conscrypt library is included in GmsCore and how Android APK contents and the armeabi target are configured. Check the current Conscrypt version and its F-Droid packaging constraints. Done means Conscrypt is separately installable and updatable, uses the requested version, and is excluded for armeabi without breaking supported builds.
