fix(android): declare microphone + wifi features optional for Play TV filtering

Browse Source 
RECORD_AUDIO implies android.hardware.microphone required=true and the
Wi-Fi state permissions imply android.hardware.wifi required=true unless
declared otherwise, so Google Play filtered the app as "not compatible"
on TVs that declare no microphone (reported on a Philips 65OLED707/12,
Android TV 11, closed-testing track) and would do the same on
ethernet-only boxes. Both capabilities are optional at runtime: the mic
uplink is runtime-requested and the Wi-Fi locks are best-effort hedges.

Verified via aapt2 dump badging: microphone + wifi now report
uses-feature-not-required and no implied hard requirements remain.
