Makefile: make unstripped libtailscale and debug symbols

- Added Makefile targets to build an unstripped version of the libtailscale AAR.
- Extracted the native .so (libgojni.so) from the unstripped AAR.
- Generated a debug symbols file (libgojni.so.debug) using llvm-objcopy with --only-keep-debug.
- Stripped the native library (libgojni.so.stripped) with --strip-debug and repackaged the final AAR.

This allows the build chain to produce a stripped AAR for the app and a separate debug symbols file that can be uploaded to Google Play for crash deobfuscation.
