This is a minor update, primarily to support Android Studio 2020.3.1 Arctic Fox.

This update adds coverage of using StateFlow as an alternative to using LiveData in Kotlin-based Android projects. It also replaces BroadcastChannel with SharedFlow in the one Kotlin sample that used SharedFlow.

And, in addition to all of that, there are the usual roster of bug fixes, to the prose and to the sample code.
