Reason is the same as with CMAKE_GDBSERVER variable. Instead of forcing
users to redefine (probably with different names) this variable each
time we can do it once in CMake.

Nope, this one needed too.

Even if they may not be needed in regular CMake code such variables can
be useful "outside". Autotools based projects use
ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_MACHINE_NAME variable: `./configure
--host=${ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_MACHINE_NAME}`. Preprocessor is required too:
`CPP=${CMAKE_C_PREPROCESSOR} ./configure`. Variables
ANDROID_NDK_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME and ANDROID_COMPILER_VERSION is used in
tool `androiddeployqt` which do build Qt application for Android.
