Android UCI engine update: Stockfish Matefinder 2017.08.31.ACH

Matefinder is a Stockfish fork maintained by Joseph Ellis and dedicated to solve puzzles rather than hitting the highest possible ELO.

The build by Alexei Chernakoff doesn't include an exact date. Besides, a quick search yielded nothing about a new release of Matefinder. I assume labeling it Aug,31th isn't a big mistake.

If so, let me know and i will correct the date.
