Replaces some Android SDL_RWops local refs for globals

It seems that Android > v4.0 has a stricter policy referring to stale local references, as such some issues that before weren't obvious have arised.
For confirmation (besides my own experience) see:

The attached patch replaces those stale local references (references that are local but they are stored in the context anyway and are being used later, after they were freed) with global references. I think I've added the required global releases as well, and now SDL_RWops is working for me under Android.
