android: extend support for protocol navigation to Android

Extends support for the `navigate` path of the `tailscale:` protocol to Android,
mirroring the existing macOS routes & pending iOS routes.

All settings tabs without existing routes simply open the main settings view
for now.

```
tailscale://navigate/main/devices
tailscale://navigate/main/devices/<computedName or stableID>
tailscale://navigate/main/exit-nodes
tailscale://navigate/main/exit-nodes/<stableID>
tailscale://navigate/main/exit-nodes/location/<country>
tailscale://navigate/settings[/<anyTab>]
```

The `scripts/deeplink-probe.sh` script can be used to trigger the application to
navigate to a given route by passing that to it.
e.g., `./tool/go run ./scripts/deeplink-probe.go main/devices`
