1816754 - Remove Android Component Glean Gradle plugin wrapper

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Experimentation and Telemetry, task)

Description

[Christian Sadilek [:csadilek]]

Android Components has a wrapper of Glean's Gradle plugin that provides no additional functionality. Its purpose was to act as wrapper so the plugin can be published using A-C's namespace and version. This allowed consuming repos like Fenix and Focus to not directly depend on Glean.

In the new Monorepo, this is no longer an advantage, as the dependency to Glean is configured in a single place.

Let's remove the indirection / wrapper and use Glean's Gradle plugin directly.

Reference Browser will need to depend on Glean directly though if we do this, which seems worth the trade-off.
