Add Debug build to Releases tab

[jmynes]

What is this about?

Developing for MetaMask Mobile is made much easier when developers are able to connect to a dev console, such as by chrome://inspect/#devices; this should not be reliant on being able to compile an APK from source

It would be beneficial to have the debug build in the Releases tab, and/or an Advanced Settings toggle for debugging built into the prod version.

Scenario

Getting to a dev console from MetaMask mobile requires a pretty large amount of resources and time, something that in any major browser takes seconds at most. MetaMask Mobile could make this easier by providing the debug build in the Releases tab, which would enable developers to just grab the APK even if they're on the go, in a coffee shop, at the airport, or who knows where else, instead of having to set up an entire Android development environment

With access to the dev console, I should now be able to fix an issue that's been sitting in prod for my dApp, which has seemingly only affected MetaMask Mobile users.

After a week or two of fiddling, I finally got MetaMask Mobile to compile into app-prod-debug.apk, and installed it onto my Pixel 9. The resulting Ubuntu 24.04.1 VM uses about 40G, with 1.1 left free:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           1.6G  1.7M  1.6G   1% /run
/dev/sda2        40G   37G  1.1G  98% /
tmpfs           7.9G   73M  7.8G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  8.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs           1.6G  160K  1.6G   1% /run/user/1000
