iris/android: fix background-thread redraw crash, add missing INTERNET permission

Two real bugs found bringing up I5's Android transcript client, neither
specific to that screen -- any future caller of Tasks::redraw_handle()
from a background thread would hit the first one.

AndroidRedrawHandle::request_redraw called View::post_frame_callback from
a tokio worker thread; its Java side calls Choreographer.getInstance(),
which throws IllegalStateException unless the *calling* thread already
has a Looper, and a JNI-attached background thread has none. That crashed
the whole process (SIGABRT, unwrap() on a JavaException) the first time a
background fetch asked for a second frame. Fixed by routing through
View::post_delayed(0) instead, Android's own thread-safe way to queue
work onto a View's UI thread, landing on a new
IrisViewPeer::delayed_callback override that drains tasks and renders --
same body as do_frame, now running safely on the UI thread.

iris-android-app's manifest never needed INTERNET before (the tabs demo
makes no network call); its absence read as EPERM ("Operation not
permitted") from UreqTransport::new's connect, not the
ECONNREFUSED/ENETUNREACH a dead server would give.

Full account in RUST.md's I5 box and IRIS.md's Tasks::redraw_handle entry.
