Include patched FDK-AAC in the repository
The initial idea was to get the DAB+ patch into upstream, but since that follows the android source releases, there is no place for a custom DAB+ patch there. So instead of having to maintain a patched fdk-aac that has to have the same .so version as the distribution package on which it is installed, we prefer having a separate fdk-aac-dab library to avoid collision. At that point, there's no reason to keep fdk-aac in a separate repository, as odr-audioenc is the only tool that needs DAB+ encoding support. Including it here simplifies installation, and makes it consistent with toolame-dab, also shipped in this repository. DAB+ decoding support (needed by ODR-SourceCompanion, dablin, etisnoop, welle.io and others) can be done using upstream FDK-AAC.

+
+ 1. INTRODUCTION
+The Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android ("FDK AAC Codec") is software
+that implements the MPEG Advanced Audio Coding ("AAC") encoding and decoding
+scheme for digital audio. This FDK AAC Codec software is intended to be used on
+a wide variety of Android devices.
+
+AAC's HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 versions are regarded as today's most efficient
+general perceptual audio codecs. AAC-ELD is considered the best-performing
+full-bandwidth communications codec by independent studies and is widely
+deployed. AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC as part of the MPEG
+specifications.
+
+Patent licenses for necessary patent claims for the FDK AAC Codec (including
+those of Fraunhofer) may be obtained through Via Licensing
+(www.vialicensing.com) or through the respective patent owners individually for
+the purpose of encoding or decoding bit streams in products that are compliant
+with the ISO/IEC MPEG audio standards. Please note that most manufacturers of
+Android devices already license these patent claims through Via Licensing or
+directly from the patent owners, and therefore FDK AAC Codec software may
+already be covered under those patent licenses when it is used for those
+licensed purposes only.
+
+Commercially-licensed AAC software libraries, including floating-point versions
+with enhanced sound quality, are also available from Fraunhofer. Users are
+encouraged to check the Fraunhofer website for additional applications
+information and documentation.

+modifications thereto to recipients of copies in binary form.
+
+The name of Fraunhofer may not be used to endorse or promote products derived
+from this library without prior written permission.
+
+You may not charge copyright license fees for anyone to use, copy or distribute
+the FDK AAC Codec software or your modifications thereto.
+
+Your modified versions of the FDK AAC Codec must carry prominent notices stating
+that you changed the software and the date of any change. For modified versions
+of the FDK AAC Codec, the term "Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android"
+must be replaced by the term "Third-Party Modified Version of the Fraunhofer FDK
+AAC Codec Library for Android."

+software.

+liability, or tort (including negligence), arising in any way out of the use of
+this software, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.
