C#: Fallback to CoreCLR/MonoVM hosting APIs when hostfxr/NativeAOT fails

Some platforms don't support hostfxr but we can use the coreclr/monosgen library directly to initialize the runtime.

Android exports now use the `android` runtime identifier instead of `linux-bionic`, this removes the restrictions we previously had:
- Adds support for all Android architectures (arm32, arm64, x32, and x64), previously only the 64-bit architectures were supported.
- Loads `System.Security.Cryptography.Native.Android` (the .NET library that binds to the Android OS crypto functions).
