Merge pull request 'fix(android): sign release APK v2+v3 only (drop invalid v1 JAR signature)' (#111) from fix/apk-signing-v1-obtainium into master

The apksigner step relied on auto scheme selection, which produced an APK
carrying invalid v1 (JAR) signature files: META-INF/*.SF and *.RSA were
present but failed v1 verification (apksigner reports `v1 scheme: false`
while v2/v3 verify). Android installs such an APK fine via v2/v3, but
Obtainium parses the legacy v1 certificate at install time, gets an empty
cert list, and crashes with:

  RangeError (length): Invalid value: valid value range is empty: 0

This is why the app adds fine in Obtainium (Gitea API only) but fails on
install (APK parse). minSdk is 26, so v1/JAR signing is unnecessary —
sign explicit v2+v3 only (matching modern Android tooling for minSdk >= 24)
and pass --min-sdk-version 26. Adds a post-sign guard that fails the build
if any META-INF v1 signature files remain.
