building: update instructions for AS 3.5

The building from source instructions were written around the time
Android Studio (AS) was version 1.5. Since then, some prompts/options have
been removed or moved around. Thus, users willing to build from source
may get confused with the current instructions. Update the screenshots
to show a more version of AS (3.5), and remove the steps that are not
longer necessary.
