Disables utmp and wtmp for the Android platform.

After applying the latest patches for Android support in OpenSSH that are set for inclusion in 6.3p1, I received the following errors from gcc:

  loginrec.c: In function 'construct_utmp':
  loginrec.c:665:17: error: 'DEAD_PROCESS' undeclared (first use in this function)
  loginrec.c:665:17: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
  loginrec.c: At top level:
  loginrec.c:727:45: warning: 'struct utmpx' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
  loginrec.c:727:45: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want [enabled by default]
  ...

This is because Android does not properly implement utmp or wtmp. It should be disabled when cross-compiling for the platform. I have attached a patch that disables both of these.
