docs: Android is on Google Play production, not a closed test track

Play production access landed 2026-08-01 and the listing is live, but the
docs still told Android users to beg for a tester invite on Discord and
warned that the Play link "only resolves once your account is on the
tester list". Both are now wrong, and the install page is the first thing
a new Android user reads.

Stable is a public Play listing. Canary is unchanged — it still goes to
the invite-only Internal testing track — so each page now draws that line
explicitly instead of describing both as test tracks.

Also corrects the release process: channels.md said CI "never
auto-publishes to the public stores" and that someone promotes alpha ->
production by hand. Since 43e3c7b6 a vX.Y.Z tag publishes to production
at 100% with no further click (android.yml resolves TRACK=production on
refs/tags/v*). Apple is still manual, so that half stands.

Touches install-client.md, clients.md, channels.md, support-matrix.md and
uninstall.md — the last one told people to ask on Discord to be removed
from a tester list that no longer gates the app.
