Move all checked in apks to test_artifacts

[bootstraponline]

Move the apks from
https://github.com/Flank/flank/tree/master/test_app/apks

into the test_artifact repo.
https://github.com/Flank/test_artifacts

Consolidating all binary files in https://github.com/Flank/test_artifacts will ensure that the Flank repo size remains reasonable over time.

upon further discussion, we should document the pros/cons of a few different options for replacing test_artifacts.

Possible ideas include:

• Git LFS
• Git submodules
• Some other download logic?
• Other ideas...

Other option is git-annex here is a little comparison between git annex and lfs.

Here is how to install git-lfs: https://git-lfs.github.com
Here is how to install git-annex: https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/centralized_git_repository_tutorial/on_GitHub/ but little old article

It's important to choose option that also covers versioning we don't want to always share same artifacts between different branches.

@jan-gogo I think that it is solved by test artifacts ? right?
