Inject the OpenXR compatibility layer into VR APKs on install

VR apps with an arm64 OpenXR loader get frame/openxr-compat's layer unless
--no-xr-compat; the app bundle ships the layer. Verified on the Frame: Wolvic's
Quest build gets through OpenXR start-up, Open Brush still reaches FOCUSED.

VR apps with an arm64 OpenXR loader also get the OpenXR compatibility layer
([frame/openxr-compat](../frame/openxr-compat/README.md)): an implicit API
layer in the APK's `assets/openxr/1/api_layers/implicit.d/`, which the app's
own loader picks up next to Valve's layer. It asks SteamVR for OpenXR 1.0 when
the app wants 1.1 and enables the extensions that became 1.1 core; maps
`xrLocateSpaces` to `xrLocateSpacesKHR` and `grip_surface` to `palm_ext`; drops
1.1 controller profiles SteamVR doesn't know; stubs
`XR_KHR_android_thread_settings` and `XR_OCULUS_android_session_state_enable`;
and keeps the current refresh rate when SteamVR refuses a requested one.
`meta.json` records `"patched": ["openxr-compat"]`. Skip it with
`install … --no-xr-compat`. Its decisions go to logcat under `FrameXrCompat`.
Verified on the headset (2026-09-28):
- **Wolvic 1.9, Quest build**, installed as downloaded: Frame Control added
`LAUNCHER` and the layer. The layer turned OpenXR 1.1.48 into 1.0.63, the
instance and session were created, and a 144 Hz refresh request that SteamVR
refused was kept at the current rate. The session reached `SYNCHRONIZED`;
then Wolvic's Gecko engine crashed (null SIGSEGV on its Gecko thread, the
same crash its Lynx build has), which is Wolvic's, not OpenXR's.
- **Open Brush, Quest build**, with the layer: 1.1.54 → 1.0.63, the thread
settings stub in use, `bytedance/pico4_controller` bindings dropped, and the
session reached `FOCUSED`, the same as without the layer.
