Warn Android users to initialize the SDK once in Application.onCreate when using manual setup. Call out Activity lifecycle methods as the wrong place for normal startup initialization, since they may run multiple times and make init-related behavior harder to reason about.

LEGAL BOILERPLATE
Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.
