Commit b6431ac introduced support for `Configuration.Override.props`,
which eventually allowed overriding the `external/xamarin-android-tools`
path via the `$(XamarinAndroidToolsDirectory)` MSBuild property in
commit 32f0c9c.
A problem with this approach is that it requires that the host repo
create the `Java.Interop/Configuration.Override.props` file before
running `make -C …/Java.Interop prepare`.
This can be simplified: update `Directory.Build.props` so that it
will also `<Import/>` the file
`$(MSBuildProjectDirectory).override.props`.
[`$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)`][0] is:
> The absolute path of the directory where the project file is
> located, for example `C:\MyCompany\MyProduct`.
>
> Do not include the final backslash on this property.
The "Do not" is grammatically odd, as it's set by MSBuild.
It *does not* include a final backslash.
This means that we can place the `.override.props` file in the
directory containing the Java.Interop checkout, with a name that
matches the git submodule directory name:
external/my-Java.Interop-checkout # git submodule to xamarin/Java.Interop
external/my-Java.Interop-checkout.override.props # now automatically imported
