adb: Added configuration setting oldandroid=true

Browse source 
To avoid using find -printf, which was first supported in Android around
2019-2020.

Probing seems too fragile, and execing stat once per file is too slow to do
when there's a faster way available, which brought me to an option...

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
git annex has been great so far, aside from some pitfalls on some of the more advanced features, i have been using it to manage my files using all kinds of special and non special remotes very solidly for 2 years now.

Ok, I've added an oldandroid=yes configuration to fix this. To enable it:
git-annex enableremote android oldandroid=yes
(Replace "android" with whatever name you used for the adb remote.)
I don't much like this, but it's better than git-annex being slow with new
phones, and being slow with old phones is better than failing when there are
too many files to import. I did consider trying to auto-probe it from the
error message, but that seemed likely to be too fragile.

by [[git-annex-import]]. When set in combination with exporttree,
this lets files be imported from it, and changes exported back to it.
* `oldandroid` - Set to "yes" if your Android device is too old
to support `find -printf`. Enabling this will make importing slower.
If you see an error like "bad arg '-printf'", you can enable this
option, by running eg: `git-annex enableremote android oldandroid=yes`
* `ignorefinderror` - Set to "yes" to ignore errors when running "adb find"
on the Android device. This can be useful eg, if some subdirectories are
not readable, to let it import the other things that are readable.
