fix(android): shell-quote free-text arguments reaching the device shell

Text entry (input text) and clipboard write (cmd clipboard set text) now
quote their free-form text argument with the same shellQuoteIfNeeded
helper app-lifecycle.ts already uses for deep-link URLs and launch
arguments, and app-lifecycle.ts's local duplicate of that helper is
retired in favor of the shared one. Multi-word clipboard writes also now
arrive at the device as a single argument instead of being re-tokenized
into separate ones.

Updates the provider-scenario test harness's scripted clipboard-state
simulator to unwrap shell quoting the same way a device shell does, so
it keeps modelling what the device actually receives.
