[Ohrrpgce] Action required: Update your apps to be 64-bit compliant by August 1, 2019

[Ralph Versteegen]

You will still be able to install a 32-bit-only app from the Play Store
until August 2021. You just won't be able to upload new games or updates to
existing games. So it's not really a deadline.

I don't think this is going to be a problem anyway. I managed to build
ohrrpgce-game.apk for 64-bit ARM Android just by changing the ABI setting
to arm64-v8a, but I haven't tested it.
