androidx.test:core currently has a dependency on androidx.concurrent:concurrent-futures-ktx:1.2.0-alpha03

Incrementing this version to androidx.concurrent:concurrent-futures-ktx:1.2.0-beta01 (see https://github.com/android/android-test/pull/2219) breaks the build. Stack trace shows an NPE from R8:
```
