Fix for missing Android UI Automator Viewer

A little PSA for Android testers using Appium: If you are beating your head against the wall because you can't for the life of you find this confounded UI Automator Viewer that's mentioned in article after article, that is probably because its seems to have been deprecated and removed from the Android SDK.

You probably want to switch to Appium Inspector.

I encountered this issue today and did quite a bit of googling without finding anything spelling things out clearly, so I figure posting this might help somebody else. (Especially given how even the Android Studio documentation still mentions uiautomatorviewer.)
