refactor: replace ./make (python3) with ./mk (makefile) (#343)
This pull request fixes https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1471. We have replaced the original build script (`./make`) with the `./mk` makefile (executable using `#!/usr/bin/make -f`). We concluded supporting direct builds from Windows is not worth the effort and halving the code we need to maintain is probably a good plus. Both macOS and Linux install GNU make at `/usr/bin/make`, so we should be okay in the common use cases.

I significantly simplified the management of Go versioning by requiring the user to manage it and by enforcing that we are using the desired Go version. This speeds up builds and works in sane operating systems that use the last version of a specific package. Otherwise, it's possible to use the `go get golang.org/dl/go${version}` feature.

The remaining question mark was related to updating the Android SDK. I have determined that a good course of action is pinning to the latest CLI tools and always forcing the CLI tools to install the latest required packages (e.g., the NDK).

The next generation OONI Probe: client library and Command Line Interface.
## User setup
Please, follow the instructions at [ooni.org/install/cli](https://ooni.org/install/cli)
to install `ooniprobe`. If we do not support your use case, please let us know.
Once `ooniprobe` is installed, try `ooniprobe help` to get interactive help.
## Reporting issues
Please, report issues with this codebase at [github.com/ooni/probe](
https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/new?labels=ooni/probe-cli&assignee=bassosimone).
Please, make sure you tag such issues using the `ooni/probe-cli` label.
## Repository organization
Every top-level directory contains an explanatory README file.
## OONIProbe
Be sure you have golang >= 1.16 and a C compiler (when developing for Windows, you
need Mingw-w64 installed). You can build using:
```bash
go build -v ./cmd/ooniprobe
```
This will generate a binary called `ooniprobe` in the current directory.
## Android bindings
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
```bash
./mk android
```
Builds bindings for Android. (Add `OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS=""` if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) pushed to the Maven Central package
repository. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings
are published along with the release notes.
## iOS bindings
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
```bash
./mk ios
```
Builds bindings for iOS. (Add `OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS=""` if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) added to GitHub releases. The instructions
explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.
## miniooni
Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:
```bash
go build -v ./internal/cmd/miniooni
```
This will generate a binary called `miniooni` in the current directory.
## Updating dependencies
```bash
go get -u -v ./... && go mod tidy
```
## Releasing
Create an issue according to [the routine release template](
https://github.com/ooni/probe/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/routine-sprint-releases.md)
and perform any item inside the check-list.
We build releases using `./mk`, which requires GNU make. Try
the `./mk help|less` command for detailed usage.
