[TIMOB-27995] Android: Gradle error related to "META-INF" when including two Kotlin based modules

The error is

More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/module_release.kotlin_module'

and occurs when more than one Android module is built with Kotlin. A workaround is to add the following to the build.gradle of one of the modules:

android {
  packagingOptions {
      exclude 'META-INF/*.kotlin_module'
  }
}

Or add it to custom build.gradle into /platform/android, that works too
