android: Lower minSdkVersion to 26, aka Android 8 Oreo
Fixes zulip#1898. In general, our policy for supporting old OS versions is described here (in the legacy app's repo, but it applies equally to this app): https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/blob/eb8505c4a/docs/architecture/platform-versions.md So for versions old enough that they represent a very small fraction of our overall user base, we don't have the resources to actively maintain support; but if the app works on those versions, we leave them supported in the app's metadata. When we increased the minimum to Android 9, the reason was that we weren't sure whether things would break on older Android versions, and just didn't have a device older than Android 9 to test on: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/243-mobile-team/topic/flutter.3A.20Java.20versions.3F/near/1775991 But in zulip#1898 we've learned that the app does in fact work on Android 8. So restore that support in the app's manifest.
