fix: publish android debug symbols

Description

Android release symbol extraction failed because previously published bitkit-core AARs contained stripped libbitkitcore.so files without usable native debug metadata.

This bumps bitkit-core to 0.1.70 and changes the Android build/publish path so release artifacts keep native debug metadata and satisfy the Android 16 KB page-size alignment requirement:

• Build Android native libraries with release debug metadata and cargo ndk --no-strip.
• Use Android NDK r28c for package publication.
• Export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT via $GITHUB_ENV after setup-ndk so script and Gradle build/publish steps can find NDK llvm-readelf.
• Preserve the repo's existing Android target rustflags while adding 16 KB LOAD segment alignment linker flags.
• Fail build_android.sh if any ABI lacks .symtab, .debug_*, or .gnu_debugdata metadata.
• Validate 16 KB LOAD alignment with wide readelf/llvm-readelf program-header output.
• Locate llvm-readelf from ANDROID_NDK_ROOT, ANDROID_NDK_HOME, or NDK_HOME when it is not already on PATH.
• Preserve libbitkitcore.so symbols through Gradle release AAR packaging.
• Add Gradle publish-time validation so bundleReleaseAar and direct Gradle publish tasks fail if checked-in jniLibs lacks native debug metadata or 16 KB LOAD alignment.
• Update terminal Android publish docs to run ./build_android.sh before direct Gradle publish.
• Regenerate Android bindings in the Gradle publish workflow before publishing the AAR.
• Update the iOS xcframework and Package.swift checksum for the same release version.

Could we update this terminal publish path to run ./build_android.sh first, or remove it? The GitHub Actions path regenerates jniLibs before publishing, but this direct Gradle path still packages the checked-in native libs. I verified publishToMavenLocal from this checkout produces an AAR with no native debug metadata, and the 32-bit libs are still 0x1000 aligned.

Could we update this terminal publish path to run ./build_android.sh first, or remove it?

Updated the terminal publish recipe to run ./build_android.sh before direct Gradle publishing, and added a Gradle validateReleaseNativeLibraries gate to bundleReleaseAar and publish tasks so direct Gradle publishing now fails if jniLibs lacks native debug metadata or 16 KB LOAD alignment.

Validation:

• ./bindings/android/gradlew --project-dir ./bindings/android :lib:validateReleaseNativeLibraries fails on the stale checked-in libs before regeneration, matching the issue.
• ./build_android.sh passes and executes :lib:validateReleaseNativeLibraries before publishToMavenLocal.
• ./bindings/android/gradlew --project-dir ./bindings/android :lib:ktlintCheck passes.
• git diff --check passes.

Could we update this terminal publish path to run ./build_android.sh first, or remove it? The GitHub Actions path regenerates jniLibs before publishing, but this direct Gradle path still packages the checked-in native libs. I verified publishToMavenLocal from this checkout produces an AAR with no native debug metadata, and the 32-bit libs are still 0x1000 aligned.

Could we update this terminal publish path to run ./build_android.sh first, or remove it?

Updated the terminal publish recipe to run ./build_android.sh before direct Gradle publishing, and added a Gradle validateReleaseNativeLibraries gate to bundleReleaseAar and publish tasks so direct Gradle publishing now fails if jniLibs lacks native debug metadata or 16 KB LOAD alignment.

Validation:

• ./bindings/android/gradlew --project-dir ./bindings/android :lib:validateReleaseNativeLibraries fails on the stale checked-in libs before regeneration, matching the issue.
• ./build_android.sh passes and executes :lib:validateReleaseNativeLibraries before publishToMavenLocal.
• ./bindings/android/gradlew --project-dir ./bindings/android :lib:ktlintCheck passes.
• git diff --check passes.

Description

Android release symbol extraction failed because previously published bitkit-core AARs contained stripped libbitkitcore.so files without usable native debug metadata.

This bumps bitkit-core to 0.1.70 and changes the Android build/publish path so release artifacts keep native debug metadata and satisfy the Android 16 KB page-size alignment requirement:

• Build Android native libraries with release debug metadata and cargo ndk --no-strip.
• Use Android NDK r28c for package publication.
• Export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT via $GITHUB_ENV after setup-ndk so script and Gradle build/publish steps can find NDK llvm-readelf.
• Preserve the repo's existing Android target rustflags while adding 16 KB LOAD segment alignment linker flags.
• Fail build_android.sh if any ABI lacks .symtab, .debug_*, or .gnu_debugdata metadata.
• Validate 16 KB LOAD alignment with wide readelf/llvm-readelf program-header output.
• Locate llvm-readelf from ANDROID_NDK_ROOT, ANDROID_NDK_HOME, or NDK_HOME when it is not already on PATH.
• Preserve libbitkitcore.so symbols through Gradle release AAR packaging.
• Add Gradle publish-time validation so bundleReleaseAar and direct Gradle publish tasks fail if checked-in jniLibs lacks native debug metadata or 16 KB LOAD alignment.
• Update terminal Android publish docs to run ./build_android.sh before direct Gradle publish.
• Regenerate Android bindings in the Gradle publish workflow before publishing the AAR.
• Update the iOS xcframework and Package.swift checksum for the same release version.
