Release Android v5.1.0-beta.4

[tobrun]

In preparation for release v5.1.0 of the Mapbox Android SDK, we're releasing today the fourth beta (v5.1.0-beta.4) in the 5.1.0 series. This beta version builds further on beta3 and focuses on stability and bug fixes. Considering that there are no remaining blocking issues in the release milestone, this beta can be considered the first release candidate for 5.1.0.

Please note that this is a pre-release version intended to gather early feedback on the new APIs and to detect any potential issues (you can report them here). This release is not intended for production apps.
