Reintroducing Ceilingbounce - flashlight testing and runtime graphs for Android

In 2015, I wrote an Android app for flashlight reviewers. If you read or watch many flashlight reviews, you've probably seen graphs with a black background and a yellow line generated by Ceilingbounce. Unfortunately, the tools used to build it were abandoned by the volunteers who created them, and soon after became incompatible with the current state of Android. I couldn't release updates, and installation on new devices required developer tools. Now it's back, and more features are coming soon.

@solrize At this time, clj-android (and therefore Ceilingbounce) requires Android 8. It might be possible to support 7.

Thanks, there's an Android 8 phone that I might be able to use. Otherwise I can do some overnight tests with my main phone while I'm sleeping. I had been thinking of possible multi-day tests for low powered lights, but those can be split into a few overnight segments.
