 For Android apps, JAR files in Maven repositories are the standard way to
 use libraries.  The _geoip_ and _geoip6_ files are a kind of library of
 data.  So this adds the `-make-maven-artifacts` option to _src/config
 /mmdb-convert.py_ to generate the standard Maven artifacts of these
 datafiles that are directly consumable in a standard Android build setup,
 e.g. in _build.gradle_:

 {{{
     implementation 'org.torproject:geoip:20191217'
 }}}

 These should be reproducible running them anywhere, since the timestamps
 come from the MaxMind file.
