Android UCI engine update: CorCfish Extended 1.8.20171015.ACH

Another update of CorCfish by Alexei.

Description: "CorCfish is an attempt to improve Cfish, in a similar way to what was done with Stockfish to obtain CorChess. Even though the aim may be not extactly the same in detail, the method looks similar. I don't know what the outcome is but you can test it to reveal your opinion."

Android UCI engine update: Cfish 2017.10.12.ACH with more arm8 compatibility

This build by Alexei Chernakoff comes with static libraries in order to solve issues previously encountered with some processors and Android versions.

If the versions without static libraries work on your device, you don't need this one. The strength is the same and the filesize is bigger by definition.
