Basic Android enroll functionality (#26386)
For #26219 

Video explaining the PR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2hmpE7N-50

This PR includes:
- applying a default/dummy policy to Android enterprise
- Setting up PubSub topic and subscription to point at Fleet Server
- Generating device enrollment token
- Enrolling a device

Although some tests were added, this PR is mostly manually tested.
Integration tests are an outstanding task.

The MDM Android package attempts to decouple Android-specific service and datastore implementations from the core Fleet server code.

Any tightly coupled code that needs both the core Fleet server and the Android-specific features must live in the main server/fleet, server/service, and server/datastore packages. Typical example are MySQL queries. Any code that implements Android-specific functionality should live in the server/mdm/android package. For example, the common code from server/datastore package can call the android datastore methods as needed.

This decoupled approach attempts to achieve the following goals:

  • Easier to understand and find Android-specific code.
  • Easier to fix Android-specific bugs and add new features.
  • Easier to maintain Android-specific feature branches.
  • Faster Android-specific tests, including ability to run all tests in parallel.
