github: cross-compile android/arm64 in CI
Add a build step to the existing Build job that cross-compiles both the
top-level module and btcutil for GOOS=android GOARCH=arm64.
This catches regressions in the android-specific build path (e.g. the
net_android.go wrapper around anet.InterfaceAddrs) without needing an
emulator or NDK toolchain - android/arm64 builds without cgo.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds a new automated build step in GitHub Actions to compile the project for Android on ARM64. It does not change any application code, fix any bug, or alter how the software behaves. There is no security relevance.
No security action needed. This is a routine CI enhancement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies .github/workflows/main.yml to add a CI step that cross-compiles the top-level module and btcutil with GOOS=android GOARCH=arm64. It is purely a testing/infrastructure change intended to catch Android-specific build regressions. No source code, cryptography, networking, or consensus logic is changed.
