Switch the Android beta page to the open test

[SeoFood]

The Android beta is now also an open test on Google Play (version code 6), so anyone with a Google account can join without the Google Group.

• /android: step 1 opts in on the Play testing page, step 2 opens the Play listing. The Google Group step and the "opens once the beta starts" fallback are gone.
• The beta notice no longer says Google waits for 12 testers over 14 days (that rule only applies to personal developer accounts created after November 2023); it now says Premium is free for testers during the beta.
• Release status: "open beta" instead of "closed beta".
• Unit and e2e tests updated.

Merge only after Google approved the open test release and the open testing track is resumed in the Play Console. Until then the testing page does not let people outside the Google Group in.

Checks run locally: npm run test:unit (80 passed), npm run test:i18n, npx playwright test tests/android-beta.spec.ts (7 passed).

70-70: 🎯 Functional Correctness

The repository’s bound Android beta configuration declares that the test is open to anyone with a Google account and that the beta has been published on Google Play. It also sets androidBeta.listed to true, so the page’s published-link state is intentional. The proposed merge gate is contradicted by the reviewed source.

Android beta enrollment

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Beta details and localized copy src/lib/android-beta.ts, src/i18n/locales/en/android.json, src/i18n/locales/de/android.json, src/i18n/locales/en/common.json, src/i18n/locales/de/common.json, tests/android-beta.test.ts	The beta configuration replaces the Google Group URL with the Play Store URL. English and German copy describes open enrollment and free Premium features for testers. The test checks the opt-in and Play Store URLs.
