Run Android E2E with ARM64 APKs (#58092)

Summary:
Build only the `arm64-v8a` Android ABI for dry-run CI artifacts and run the ARM64 RNTester and template-app APKs on an API 35 `google_apis` x86_64 emulator using the system images built-in NDK translation support.

This also makes the Maestro emulator API level and target configurable, logs the device ABI/native-bridge configuration, and updates local RNTester artifact selection to use the ARM64 split.

Release and nightly publication builds continue to build all supported Android ABIs.

## Changelog:

[INTERNAL] [CHANGED] - Run Android E2E tests with ARM64 APKs through NDK translation.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/58092

Test Plan:
- `node --check .github/workflow-scripts/maestro-android.js` — passed.
- `node --check scripts/release-testing/test-release-local.js` — passed.
- Parsed all modified YAML files with the `yaml` Node package — passed.
- `./node_modules/.bin/prettier --check <modified files>` — passed.
- `git diff --check HEAD~3..HEAD` — passed.
- `actionlint` reported only existing repository metadata warnings for the custom `4-core-ubuntu` label and the missing description in the local `yarn-install` action.
- `yarn test .github/workflow-scripts/__tests__/maestro-android-test.js --runInBand` could not start because the local dependency tree is missing `flow-parser`; restoring dependencies was blocked by HTTP 503 responses from the npm registry.
- The draft CI run should validate ARM64 APK installation, Hermes startup, and the complete Maestro suites through `libndk_translation.so`.
