Termux api level

[nathaneltitane]

Problem description
Termux is not readily available to download for devices using Android 5 and above (API 21 +) for stock or non rooted devices that can still support development on Android or that meet performance requirements to run gui systems.

Some projects (i.e.: Anlinux) now require the use of termux to function but cannot do so when running prior versions of Android to the one currently supported.

Steps to reproduce
Use stock Nexus device running Android 5 or 6 and try to install termux. From playstore.

Expected behavior
Have app available, downloaded and fuully functional

Additional information
Post output of command termux-info. N/A too old to install

If you are rooted or have access to adb then capture a logcat with logcat -d "*:W", from a adb or root shell.

We are moving towards dropping legacy Android support -- termux/termux-packages#2874.

Seems app will receive updates for Android 5, we have branch https://github.com/termux/termux-app/tree/android-5 but v0.76 is not created for it.
