Firebaseui-android: Glide 4.0 support?

[wonsuc]

Glide is now v4.0.0-RC0.

Since FirebaseUI is using 3.7 version, StreamModelLoader and using method has been changed or removed on v4.0.

Is there any plan to migrate and support for Glide v4.0? Or FirebaseUI project will continue with v3.7 for a while?

Thanks!

@wonsuc thanks for the link! To be honest I had not seen Glide 4.0 yet, looks like we should be able to make the update without too much work, although I don't think it will make it into the next FirebaseUI release.

@samtstern Will the new Glide version be supported in future or must we continue with 3.8 ?

Thanks.

@guilmarc we definitely want to support it in the future but I also want to make sure we can keep backwards compatibility. I will look into this.

Since gradle won't let me have two versions of one dependency (even if they're provided) there's no way to do this without a breaking change to FirebaseUI which means waiting for the next major version.

I think I have written all the necessary code in #802 though. So those who are very eager could build from that branch (or just copy out the Loader class).

Version 3.0 has been released!
