build(android): downgrade Avalonia 12 -> 11.3.20 + Avalonia.Maui 11.3.0

WIP: addressing the layer-3 WindowingPlatformStub.NotSupportedException
crash on PostIt.Android by downgrading to the Avalonia 11 / Avalonia.Maui
11 stack, where the Android runtime platform layer (IWindowingPlatform)
gets properly bound via the MAUI embedding extension instead of being
left as a stub.

Touched files:

- src/PostIt/Directory.Packages.props:
  - Avalonia 12.1.1 -> 11.3.20 (Avalonia, Avalonia.Android,
    Avalonia.AvaloniaEdit, Avalonia.Browser, Avalonia.Desktop,
    Avalonia.Fonts.Inter, Avalonia.Themes.Fluent).
  - New: Avalonia.Maui 11.3.0.
  - Microsoft.Maui.Essentials 10.0.100 -> 8.0.100 (aligns with the
    Microsoft.Maui.Controls 8.0.x family that Avalonia.Maui 11.3.0
    pulls transitively).
  - New: Microsoft.Maui.Controls 8.0.100.

- src/PostIt/PostIt.Android/PostIt.Android.csproj:
  - TargetFramework net10.0-android -> net9.0-android36.0 (Avalonia
    Android 11.3.20 targets net8.0-android34.0, but the
    compat-ascending fallback lets us consume from net9.0-android36.0
    against the API-36 platform that's already installed locally).
  - Add Avalonia.Maui PackageReference.
  - Restore Microsoft.Maui.Essentials PackageReference (left in
    earlier removal during the MAUI-cause-of-crash hypothesis check).

- src/PostIt/PostIt/PostIt.csproj: TargetFramework net10.0 -> net9.0
  (must match what PostIt.Android consumes transitively, otherwise
  the build chain breaks).

- src/Yavsc.Abstract/Yavsc.Abstract.csproj: net10.0 -> net9.0 (same
  reason; six other consumers stay on net10.0 and pick up the new
  assembly via standard TFM compat).

- src/Yavsc.Api.Client/Yavsc.Api.Client.csproj: net10.0 -> net9.0
  (same reason).

- src/PostIt/PostIt.Android/Application.cs: rewritten as a bare
  Android.App.Application. Avalonia 11 no longer ships
  AvaloniaAndroidApplication<TApp> (that was an Avalonia 12
  introduction); the Avalonia init now lives in MainActivity via
  AvaloniaMainActivity<TApp>. The class is kept only so the
  [Application] manifest entry remains.

- src/PostIt/PostIt.Android/MainActivity.cs: now inherits
  AvaloniaMainActivity<App> and overrides CustomizeAppBuilder to
  chain .UseMaui<PostIt.Maui.MauiEmbeddingApp>(this) before
  .WithInterFont(). AvaloniaMainActivity<TApp> handles the
  AvaloniaView initialisation in OnCreate.

- src/PostIt/PostIt/Maui/MauiEmbeddingApp.cs (new): empty
  Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Application used as the embedding host for
  Avalonia.Maui. The MAUI window it produces is consumed by the
  Avalonia.Maui embedding pipeline and never surfaces to the user;
  Avalonia owns the actual visual tree.

Build status: 11 errors remaining, all CS0234 / CS0246 against
'Avalonia.Controls.ContentPage'. Avalonia 11 did not ship
ContentPage (it's an Avalonia 12 type, presumably for MAUI parity).
All seven PostIt pages inherit ContentPage today and need to be
reworked to UserControl before the build can complete. Follow-up
commit will do that.
