Subject: [PATCH] feat: Introduce Gradle property to control APK splits (#560)

* feat: Introduce Gradle property to control APK splits

This commit introduces a new Gradle project property, `buildSplitApks`, to conditionally enable or disable the generation of ABI-specific (arm64, x86_64) and universal APKs.

Key changes:
- In `app/build.gradle.kts`, the `splits.abi.isEnable` flag is now dynamically set based on the `buildSplitApks` property.
- APK splitting is disabled by default to support standard Android App Bundle (`bundleRelease`) builds.
- The release workflow (`release.yml`) is updated to pass `-PbuildSplitApks=true` when building release APKs for GitHub.
- The general Android build workflow (`android-build.yml`) is also modified to enable splits only for the `Release` variant, ensuring debug builds are not affected.

* chore: Simplify and automate APK split builds

This commit simplifies the build process by automatically enabling ABI splits for APKs (`assemble`) and disabling them for AABs (`bundle`).

This removes the need to manually pass the `-PbuildSplitApks=true` property. The build script now intelligently determines whether to create architecture-specific APKs based on the task being executed (e.g., `assembleRelease` vs. `bundleRelease`).

The GitHub Actions workflows (`release.yml`, `android-build.yml`) have been updated to remove this now-redundant property, streamlining the CI configuration.
