Right now, we pick up our JNA dependency transitively by way of Glean, which is on version 5.14.0. Previous attempts to update to version 5.17.0 led to Android 5/6 crashes that forced a last-minute downgrade and led to this being blocked on dropping support for those older Android versions.

Now that bug 1978592 is moving forward, we can take advantage of Gradle dependency constraints to force Fenix & Focus to pick up version 5.17.0 while not forcing Glean to take the update yet if they're not ready to drop support for Android <8. This has already been proven to work as expected for reference-browser and should be safe as upstream JNA hasn't made any breaking JNI interface changes between 5.14.0 and 5.17.0.
