CB-12609: added android@6.2.0 release blog post
Please review!
I think the summary about us updating the way we use gradle could use more info. Any suggestions @infil00p?
@dpogue how does the resource-file section look?

+We are happy to announce that `Cordova Android 6.2.0` has been released!
+
+This release has fixed issues introduced by the **Android SDK Tools 25.3.1** release. **Google** dropped support for the `android` binary, so `cordova-android` has now adopted support for the `avdmanager` and `sdkmanager` binaries. We have also taken the opportunity to rewrite how we use gradle on the users system.

We should explicitly state here that we now require either Gradle or Android Studio to be installed, since our old configuration didn't require either of these things to be installed previously.

I'd remove this: "Rename `android_sdk_version.js` to `android_sdk.js`, to better reflect its contents. " - not useful to end users.
I would also reword the last sentence - this was actually a bug where the batch file for `android_sdk_version` would not exist in a generated cordova-android project. I am thinking: "Actually include the `android_sdk_version.bat` file in generated cordova-android projects for our lovely Windows users."

@infil00p's makes a great point here:
> We should explicitly state here that we now require either Gradle or Android Studio to be installed, since our old configuration didn't require either of these things to be installed previously.
We should call this out at the top-level IMO, and not within the CB bug list. I say right alongside the note about the SDK Tools 25.3.1 changes.
