Patch to disable BluetoothManager for old versions of Android

On Android, prior to API version 18 (i.e. Android 4.1 and older) the BluetoothManager API did not exist yet. However, SDL always uses BluetoothManager when Bluetooth is enabled, causing a crash at runtime with the following stack trace:

SDL should not try to use the BluetoothManager API if the OS is at an API version less than 18.

I attached a patch that simply disables Bluetooth if BluetoothManager is not present. Ideally Bluetooth should still be supported, but I'm not sure if there are any non-BLE devices that we would need to support in a game.
