android: PTT swipe-to-lock, recording overlay with level bar, cancel/send buttons

- voice_recorder: peak_level tracking in feed(), voice_recorder_get_peak_level()
- bridge/JNI: voice_get_peak_level API
- ViewModel: isRecordingLocked, recordingDurationMs with 80ms timer, lock/send/cancel
- InputBar: 3 states (idle/holding/locked), custom pointerInput gesture with swipe-up lock
- ChatScreen: poll peak level 12x/sec during recording
