Xamarin.Android.Lite MSBuild properties

See Xamarin.Android.Lite.targets for implementation.

Here is a list of MSBuild properties you can configure in your Xamarin.Android.Lite project. Reasonable defaults are used if they are omitted. These are meant to align with the same property names in Xamarin.Android, but there may be differences...
