[Android] Static objects do not get destroyed when loading an application after Application.Unload was called
To reproduce:
1. Open the QA's attached project "staticRemainRepro"
2. Build and Run on Android with Development Build selected
3. Press "Unload"
4. Load the application
5. Observe the logcat
Expected result: Static variables are destroyed after Application.Unload and then loaded again after the application is loaded
Actual result: "Static initialized flag's value is True" line is printed indicating that there already is a static variable after the application was unloaded and then loaded
Reproduced with: 2018.4.13f1, 2019.2.13f1, 2019.3.0b12, 2020.1.0a14
Reproduces with Android (IL2CPP, Mono). App freezes on iOS devices on Application.Unload. UWP build fails.

Resolution Note (2020.1.X):
Currently this is by design and it would be a major feature request to make it work the desired way (major scripting feature).
User should either not rely on/use statics (a script attached to game object that is DontDestroyOnLoad is one way), or make them handle reload.
