Use an uncompressed omni.ja to improve final apk compression.
This was something in the back of my head for some time and finally today I got to check: if we (re)zip omni.ja with no compression at all, we allow 7z to do a better deflate job while packaging the apk (and as a side effect, the crash on startup is gone too).
Comparing current alpha build vs this one we get ~600KB less than trying to optimize omni.ja's own compression and apparently no compatibility issues (tested on the stable branch as well).
