fix(marmot): add diagnostic logs to group persistence path + use explicit AndroidKeyStore provider

User-reported issue: creating a Marmot group works in a single session,
but the group is gone after app restart. The store code path survives
the persistGroup save on creation, but something between save and
restore silently loses the state.

Changes:

- KeyStoreEncryption: pass "AndroidKeyStore" explicitly to
  KeyGenerator.getInstance so generator.init(KeyGenParameterSpec) is
  guaranteed to land on the AndroidKeyStore provider (the default
  provider selection is not guaranteed to choose it). Also wrap
  encrypt/decrypt in try/catch so the real exception is logged
  instead of bubbling up as a generic failure.

- AndroidMlsGroupStateStore: log rootDir at construction, and log
  every save/load/listGroups/delete with file paths, byte counts,
  and whether the target file actually exists after writing. Any
  thrown exception is now logged with full stack trace before
  rethrowing.

- MlsGroupManager: log create / persist / restoreAll with group ids,
  byte counts, and in-memory group count so we can see exactly which
  step drops state. The existing "corrupted state, delete" branch now
  logs at ERROR with a clearer marker so it's easy to spot in the logs.

- MarmotManager + AccountCacheState: log which MLS store implementation
  is chosen per account (Android vs InMemory fallback) and the root
  filesDir path, plus restoreAll() begin/end with restored group ids.

These logs should make it obvious whether:
  1. persistence is silently falling back to InMemoryMlsGroupStateStore,
  2. save is actually writing the file to disk,
  3. listGroups is finding the directory on restart,
  4. decrypt is throwing and the restoreAll catch block is wiping
     the "corrupted" state.
