test: strengthen RC E2E quality gates

[jingjing2222]

Summary

• remove four platform-mismatch flows that only reported a skipped scenario as passed
• add the existing location-readiness happy/denied contract to both platform suites
• require background permission, exact invalid-config, and native configuration round-trip evidence
• run the isolated Android GPS-offline and no-Headless-JS regression suites in the repository E2E workflow
• replace the unpinned agent-device [Bug] background location warnings on Android #132 driver with the existing Maestro flow
• wait for app bootstrap before iOS deep links so navigation listeners cannot lose the route
• exercise the natural cross-platform missing-Android-options path instead of bypassing Nitro types with as any

Local verification

• actionlint .github/workflows/e2e.yml
• yarn format:check
• yarn lint
• yarn typecheck
• yarn deadcode
• yarn pack:check
• yarn source-lines:check
• yarn test:unit (186 tests)
• yarn test:e2e:web
• bash examples/v0.81.1/scripts/test-maestro-retry-flows.sh
• Android release APK: invalid-config native contract passed repeatedly

Device verification

• iOS full E2E — run 32836701957
• Android full E2E, including GPS-offline and [Bug] background location warnings on Android #132 alternate bundle — run 32836701957

Use a bridge-valid object to test native validation

On Android, { android: {} as any } never reaches validateAndroidBackgroundOptions: Nitro's generated converter requires AndroidBackgroundLocationOptions.foregroundService and rejects the malformed object at the JS/native boundary with a generic conversion error. Consequently, the message cannot contain MISSING_NOTIFICATION_ERROR, this result is always marked failed, and background-e2e.yaml will fail every full Android E2E run. Omit android entirely or otherwise pass a bridge-valid value that reaches the intended Kotlin validation.
