feat(poc/audio): add Android mobile audio spike

Closes the mobile half of the PoC plan §2 audio exit criterion
left open by poc/audio-capture-playback-spike. The desktop and
mobile halves together fully retire the audio PoC.

Stack:
  Kotlin (MainActivity) → JNI → Rust cdylib
    → cpal 0.16 → Oboe (AAudio / OpenSL ES) → Android audio HAL

Layout:
  rust crate (src/lib.rs)   — JNI_OnLoad, initContext,
                              playSine440, record1sToFile;
                              panic-catching at JNI boundary;
                              android_logger → logcat
  android/ (Gradle 8.7,     — minSdk 24, compileSdk 34, AGP 8.5.2.
   AGP 8.5.2, Kotlin 1.9.24)  cargoBuildRust task wraps cargo-ndk
                              -P 26 -t <abi> for all four ABIs;
                              wired into preBuild so AGP picks up
                              the produced .so files.

Verified on 2026-05-13 on a physical Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G
(2023), Android 14 SDK 34 arm64-v8a:
  - Playback: 500 ms 440 Hz mono sine, 22,050 frames emitted at
    44.1 kHz through cpal/Oboe/AAudio/device speaker.
  - Capture: 1 s from default input, 42,624 frames written to
    /data/data/app.chanora.poc.audio/files/chanora_poc_capture.wav.
    File pulled via 'adb exec-out run-as ... cat' and confirmed
    by file(1) as 'RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio,
    Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 44100 Hz'. Header bytes
    cross-checked against the reported frame count.

Notes:
  - cpal links libaaudio (introduced API 26), so cargo-ndk targets
    API 26 via -P 26 while the Android module's minSdk stays at 24
    (DEC-004). API 24/25 devices would fall back to OpenSL ES at
    runtime; not exercised here.
  - JNI panic safety: every JNI entry point wraps its body in
    std::panic::catch_unwind and a tracing panic hook routes
    panic messages to logcat under tag 'ChanoraAudioPoC'. Without
    this, cpal panicking inside an extern "system" function would
    abort the process.
  - The emulator AVD chanora-poc-api34 and its system image were
    installed during Phase 0 but emulator verification was skipped
    once the physical-device run succeeded. Real-device evidence
    is stronger.

Surfaced finding: DEC-011.1 mobile half promoted from Deferred to
Accepted for Android in the same docs commit; iOS remains
explicitly Deferred (requires macOS + Xcode hardware).

Authority: PoC plan §2, DEC-011, DEC-011.1.
Not product code; not promoted into chanora_audio.
