feat(android): Compile against Android SDK 37

[runningcode]

Ref: JAVA-631

📜 Description

Compile the Android SDK against API 37 (Android 17) by bumping compileSdk and targetSdk from 36 to 37 in gradle/libs.versions.toml.

This also fixes a compilation break the new SDK surfaces: in the API 37 android.jar, MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.getVideoCapabilities() is now annotated @Nullable. SimpleVideoEncoder dereferenced it without a null check, which fails Kotlin compilation. The access is already wrapped in a try/catch, so adding the null guard keeps behavior unchanged.

💡 Motivation and Context

Verify the SDK builds and behaves correctly against the latest Android SDK so downstream apps can compile/target API 37 without issues.

Verified against API 37 on this branch: full SDK + sample assemble, clean lint (AGP 8.13.1), R8 full-mode release build (no missing rules, runs clean), external app consuming the published artifacts, and runtime coverage on an API 37 emulator (crashes, ANRs incl. native, Session Replay h264 encoding — the exact SimpleVideoEncoder path — messages, and profiling), all landing in Sentry.

💚 How did you test it?

• ./gradlew assemble + sample assembleRelease/assembleDebug against compileSdk/targetSdk 37
• lintRelease on core Android modules — no issues
• R8 full-mode release APK installed and smoke-tested on an Android 17 (API 37) emulator
• Consumed the publishToMavenLocal artifacts from a standalone external app
• Exercised the sample app end-to-end on API 37 and confirmed events (incl. Session Replay video encoding) arrive in Sentry

📝 Checklist

• I added GH Issue ID & Linear ID
• I added tests to verify the changes.
• No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if sendDefaultPII is enabled.
• I updated the docs if needed.
• I updated the wizard if needed.
• Review from the native team if needed.
• No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.
• No breaking change for hybrid SDKs or communicated to hybrid SDKs.

🔮 Next steps

• Add API 37 to the CI emulator matrix once tooling is broadly available.
