There's not much I can say about this. Oh well. Google released a new version of android called Nougat (android N). It is compileSdkVersion 24. However, on the build tools page in the official documentation, it is not mentioned.

I want to give my app to 100% of the people using Google Play Store, which includes android N users.

tl;dr: What should I fill in the buildToolsVersion field?

Thanks.

buildToolsVersion should be set to 25 and 25.0.0, as seen below:

compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

You can get the latest buildToolsVersion from SDK Manager in Android Studio.
