This PR adds 6.3 to the default android_sdk_versions for CI, and also fixes an error with getting the checksum for the final release of the Android SDK in 6.3. This wasn't affecting the earlier nightly-6.3 or nightly-main because their checksum fetching is done in a different place.

Should we remove nightly-6.3 by default? I don't see it adding value for most devs.

I was following Static Linux precedent:

linux_static_sdk_versions:

default: "[\"nightly-main\", \"nightly-6.2\", \"6.2\"]"

I don't know if it adds value for devs, but it might add value for us so we can more quickly identify any regressions that may come with the 6.3 nightlies.

I can go either way with it. WDYT, @shahmishal?

That's even worse: no way static linux SDK users still want the old last 6.2 nightly snapshot built against, a complete waste.

We really need to prune that default version list for all platforms, starting with nightly-6.3 for Android in this pull. The others we can do in another pull, once the reviewers chime in on what they want.

Well, I'm guessing that they just haven't updated it for 6.3 yet.

Those 6.2 nightlies should have been dropped once 6.2 was tagged or soon after.
