lima: Android debugging experience sharing

Modern Android doesn't respect GLES anymore, providing no ability to capture trace/playback and send it to driver maintainers.

But mesa3d allow us to dump driver-specific per-frame data for analysis.

Enable mesa3d/lima dumps:

adb root
adb shell chmod 777 /data
adb shell mkdir -p /data/lima
adb shell setprop mesa.lima.debug dump
adb shell setprop mesa.lima.dump.file /data/lima/lima.dump

Restart userspace:

adb shell stop
adb shell start

Clear old/unnecessary dumps:

adb shell rm /data/lima/*

Do UI manipulation, then download dumps:

mkdir dumps
cd dumps
adb pull /data/lima .

Get process/thread list to allow distinguish between dumps:

adb shell ps -AT > ps.txt
