Iris's call, after the guest measurement: the emulator is a GLES rig and
nothing chases hardware Vulkan in it; the Vulkan path is covered by the
desktop build and by her phone.

Nothing had to be forced. The emulator has no hardware Vulkan at all --
its only Vulkan is SwiftShader in software -- and its GLES is the host's
real RX 7900 XT through virgl at ES 3.1, so iris's existing runtime
fallback lands there by itself. Verified end to end with an ordinary
debug APK: "no Backends(VULKAN|...) adapter on this device, falling back
to GLES", then "Android Emulator OpenGL ES Translator (virgl (AMD Radeon
RX 7900 XT ...)) (Gl, OpenGL ES 3.1 ...) on Backends(GL)". So the
emulator and the phone run the same binary, differing only in what it
finds -- which is the point, and `force-gles` must not be reintroduced to
arrange the emulator's backend.

What changed:
- The Android renderer logs the full adapter line at startup, as the
  desktop already did. Only the backend enum was logged, which cannot
  tell `Gl` on the host's GPU from `Gl` on SwiftShader; the same rule was
  written on one member of the pair and not the other.
- `run-bench.sh` prints that line before any number.
- build-apk.sh, Cargo.toml and RUST.md's "Vulkan in the emulator" carried
  the stale premise that the emulator defaults to software Vulkan and has
  to be steered off it. The recipes are marked superseded rather than
  deleted, since the record of why host Vulkan is unavailable is still
  worth having.
- Drive-by: an `#[allow]`-free clippy warning in android/platform.rs
  (useless JObject conversion) that only appears on the android target.

No Vulkan requirement was found in iris itself to remove: neither backend
asks for a feature, `device_limits()` stays at wgpu's defaults with the
compute fields zeroed, and both probe rather than expect an adapter.
