Android/Linux stacks

• SDK tools updated to 25.2.5 & android-25 system image & a couple of constraint-layout packages preinstalled

Xamarin stacks

• Stable update: https://releases.xamarin.com/service-release-cycle-9/
• Beta & Alpha update: https://releases.xamarin.com/beta-release-15-1-beta-preview-1/
