Looks like --bypass-platform-checks allows the current target to depend on
whatever it wants *and* makes dependent targets think that the current target
neither requires nor supports Android. Do we want this latter behavior too?

Done. Also, changed the checks to look at all dependents so that you couldn't
have android_library -> java_library+bypass -> java_library

I.e. everything after the android_library will need to specify
bypass_platform_checks

     deps_info['supports_android'] = options.supports_android
