docs: add Mac.apk as an Android Runtime Target for Apple Silicon - #22

Conversation
Mac.apk runs Android apps as genuine native macOS processes - no
emulator, no VM, no Linux underneath - unlike BlueStacks' full
Android-emulator approach. On macOS 26.4+/Apple Silicon this is a
lighter-weight alternative for hosting Zello (or another PTT app).
Keyboard input reaches the focused app window the same way pynput
already works for BlueStacks ("the keyboard reaches the app as a
keyboard" per Mac.apk's own docs); audio routing is flagged as less
settled since there's no documented in-app audio-device picker the
way an Android emulator has, and there's no ADB on this target since
it isn't running a real Android OS instance.
Also adds it to the synced one-liner description in README.md and
setup.py alongside BlueStacks/Waydroid/docker-android.
