Details

(Whiteboard: [geckoview:klar:p3]) 

We have BuildConfig, but it has a ton of Geckoisms like MOZ_APP_BASENAME and some Fennec stuff. I think it would be better to expose a subset of these in GeckoRuntime. Something like:

GeckoRuntime.VERSION = BuildConfig.MOZ_APP_VERSION_DISPLAY
GeckoRuntime.BUILDID = BuildConfig.MOZ_APP_BUILDID
GeckoRuntime.CPU_ARCH = BuildConfig.ANDROID_CPU_ARCH
This version info will be useful for Klar to expose in its about page:

Tasks and enhancements should have severity N/A.
