The preview emulator failed every boot with "Unknown AVD name [api37]" and
exited immediately (no device -> the bounded wait timed out). avdmanager had
created the AVD under $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd while the emulator searched
$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/avd and $HOME/.android/avd. Pin ANDROID_AVD_HOME to one path
both tools use, carry it to the boot step via $GITHUB_ENV, and list AVDs after
creation to verify.

The custom-provisioned preview job hung in 'Boot emulator and run E2E' until
the 35-min cap: adb wait-for-device had no timeout and the emulator's own
output was never captured, so a failed boot was both invisible and unbounded.
Bound the wait with a single 300s timeout covering device registration + full
boot, retry once, capture the emulator log, and dump it (plus logcat) on
failure.
