Address Greptile review on ActivityWatch#185: - Export step: document that Android may save the file directly to Downloads instead of showing a chooser, and where to find it. - Researcher notes: the Research Edition has its own app ID and data directory (verified side-by-side install), so an existing standard ActivityWatch database is not the trigger for export refusal. The reachable path is an import/restore into the Research app, and the Android build does not implement the desktop export guard. - Rename the Android notes heading to avoid the duplicate autosectionlabel warning against the desktop page.

Summary
Adds
src/research/participant-instructions-android.rst— participant-facinginstall and export steps for the Android Research Edition APK, and wires it
into the research toctree.
Follows up on #181 (desktop guide, merged), which explicitly deferred Android:
"The VR Android pilot (direct APK, ~40 people, deadline 2026-09-29) will need
its own page before anyone sideloads; that is a follow-up, not this PR."
What the page covers:
global path, Oculus/Meta Quest Developer Mode for VR headsets
two-buckets-is-normal, fixed export filename
The page is styled to match
participant-instructions.rstand ends with across-reference to it.
