Claude 111f3392b4 fix(browser): open a file picker for HTML file inputs
Tapping `<input type="file">` anywhere in Amethyst was a silent no-op: no
picker, no error, nothing logged. An Android WebView shows no chooser of its
own — the app must override `WebChromeClient.onShowFileChooser`, and none of
the four WebView hosts did. The base implementation returns false, and for a
target of API 21+ there is no legacy fallback, so every file upload in the
in-app browser, in nSites and in napplets was impossible.

All four hosts now open the picker:

- NappletBrowserActivity (full-screen browser) and NappletHostActivity
  (full-screen napplet/nSite sandbox) own an Activity, so they run the picker
  directly through an ActivityResultLauncher.
- NappletBrowserService and NappletHostService render an embedded surface from
  a windowless Service in the keyless `:napplet` process and have no Activity
  to launch from. They send the request's *description* — accept list,
  multi-select, title — to the main process over the existing Messenger
  contract; WebFileChooserCoordinator builds the Intent there and collects the
  result in the throwaway WebFileChooserActivity. Shipping data instead of a
  ready-made Intent keeps the sandbox able to ask the trusted process for a
  file picker and for nothing else. URI read grants are per-UID, so the picked
  `content://` URIs are readable by the WebView in `:napplet` with no
  re-granting, and allowContentAccess stays off.

Two details that decide whether this actually works in practice:

- The page's `filePathCallback` must fire on every path. WebView keeps a file
  input busy until it does, so a dropped callback (user cancelled, session torn
  down, no app to handle the Intent) leaves that input permanently dead for the
  life of the page. PendingFileChooser guarantees exactly-once delivery and
  carries a request id so a result that outlived its request is dropped rather
  than fed to whichever input is waiting now.
- Android's own FileChooserParams.createIntent() keeps only the first `accept`
  entry and drops multi-select, so `accept="image/png,image/jpeg" multiple`
  would offer PNGs only, one at a time. FileChooserAccept resolves the whole
  list — extensions included — into a type plus EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, widening to a
  family wildcard rather than narrowing below what the page asked for. It is
  pure and unit-tested in commonMain.

NappletHostService had no chrome client at all, so it gains one. Its WebView is
built from a Service context with no window token to attach a dialog to, so the
new client also dismisses JS alert/confirm/prompt instead of opting into the
default dialog handling.

Camera capture (`accept` with `capture`) and getUserMedia still fall back to
the picker; `onPermissionRequest` remains unimplemented and is left for a
separate change.
