Attachment: [WIP] Android NFC backend

This handles peer and tag discovery and writing NDEF data to peers. There's an impedance mismatch between the Android and WebNFC APIs, since Android does peer discovery synchronously and the WebNFC API is all async. Sometimes this causes the peer to be lost by the time we do the round trip from Android to Gecko and back, but I think it can be fixed by using nfc.tech.* directly instead of the Android Beam API. This is required for writing NDEF to tags anyway, so it's not a problem.
