fix(kiosk): 4 bug fix — uninstall loop, PHP check, APK validation, ErrorReporter init

Bug 1 — Uninstall loop (kiosk lock task blocks system uninstall UI):
  startActivityForResult(ACTION_DELETE) was called while lock task was
  active. The system uninstall activity is not in the lock task whitelist
  so it either silently fails or creates an unresolvable loop.
  Fix: call disableKioskLock() immediately before every ACTION_DELETE
  intent (3 call sites). Call enableKioskLock() at the start of
  onActivityResult(UNINSTALL_REQUEST) before retrying install.
  Added 600 ms delay after uninstall so PackageManager finishes cleanup.

Bug 2 — Step 2 only checks HTTP connectivity, not PHP API:
  testConnection() was checking the root URL only. A generic web server
  could pass while the EverShelf PHP API was absent.
  Fix: after HTTP 200-399 on the root URL, do a second GET to
  /api/?action=check_update and check the response body contains
  'latest_tag'|'webapp_version'|'ok'. Shows:
    ✅ Server EverShelf trovato e API attiva!
    ⚠  Server raggiungibile ma API PHP non trovata (codice N)

Bug 3 — STATUS_FAILURE=1 even after uninstall (invalid APK file):
  GitHub DownloadManager follows redirects; if the release asset does
  not exist yet, GitHub returns a 404 HTML page but DownloadManager
  still reports STATUS_SUCCESSFUL. PackageInstaller then tries to parse
  HTML as an APK and returns STATUS_FAILURE=1.
  Fix: validate APK magic bytes (0x504B = 'PK') before calling
  installWithPackageInstaller. If invalid: show error, delete corrupt
  file, send ErrorReporter event, re-enable retry button.
  Also renamed install error string to install_error_install (separate
  from install_error_download) for clarity.

Bug 4 — ErrorReporter.serverBaseUrl empty during wizard install:
  ErrorReporter.init() is called in onCreate() with the saved URL.
  On first setup the URL is typed in step 2 and saved to prefs, but
  ErrorReporter still has serverBaseUrl='' for the rest of that session.
  Any install error in step 3 silently failed to POST.
  Fix: call ErrorReporter.init(this, url) in btnStep2Next immediately
  after prefs.edit().putString(KEY_URL, url) so step 3 has a live URL.
