Generate a pom.xml file to download the jars needed to use the Robolectric Test Runner in offline mode

"""
This is a quick and dirty script to parse SdkConfig.java from the
Robolectric sources on GitHub to determine the list of dependencies we need
to use the Robolectric Test Runner in offline mode. It then generates a Maven
pom.xml file that can be used to download all the necessary depedenency jars
from maven central.

Hey, just a heads-up, I found this on your blog - thanks for this!

It looks like in a more recent Robolectric change they've changed the way the SDKs are specified - I forked and fixed the regex to make this work for me.

Oh cool, thanks @benoberkfell!

@benoberkfell Mind sharing your updated gist? The one you linked 404s. Thanks!
