www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html points to an older release

I am using an open-source app installer Obtanium (https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium) which has special support for downloading VLC releases from the origin.

I have noticed that no matter what, it stubbornly refused to offer anything else but 3.5.4 release of VLC. After looking at the code I have found that this installer actually scraps the following URL:

https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html

and looks for the link to the APK file to confirm the latest version. While I think this is not the best idea to detect the latest version this way, it would help if the contents of this page is refreshed :)

Thanks!
