Initial GitHub Codespaces (AKA Dev Container) configuration (see #2481)…

… (#2482)

Intentionally does not install Gradle VSC extension after all (because it doesn't seem to work well).

Installs Java 17 instead of 11 in GitHub Codespace Dev Container so that the Gradle build works on CLI in Codespaces.

Uses akhildevelops instead of nordcominc to install Android SDK because that seems to work better.

Note that you'll need the akhildevelops/devcontainer-features#7 workaround.

Includes initial documentation describing Dev Containers for GitHub Codespaces support.

+# Dev Containers for GitHub Codespaces
+
+This project includes (initial) support for
+[GitHub Codespaces](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/overview), based on
+[Development Containers](https://containers.dev) technology.
+
+**Status:** This is currently primarily used as a ready-made environment
+for documentation writing for this project. The Gradle build also works.
+However support for Kotlin development for Android is TBD.
+Your contributions to make this better are very welcome.
+
+## Usage
+
+[![Open in GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/codespaces/badge.svg)](https://codespaces.new/google/android-fhir?quickstart=1)
+
+If you are missing your fancy custom Shell configuration that you have built over the last 100 years,
+you should [set up your dotfiles for Codespaces](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/setting-your-user-preferences/personalizing-github-codespaces-for-your-account#dotfiles)
+such as [e.g. this dude did in his dotfiles](https://github.com/vorburger/vorburger-dotfiles-bin-etc#github-codespaces).
