fix(android): Resolve every permission request when they run in parallel

React Native's `PermissionAwareActivity` only remembers a single
`PermissionListener`, and Android itself refuses a second
`requestPermissions(...)` while one is still in flight. Overlapping
permission requests therefore lost their results and left their callers -
and with them the JS Promises - suspended forever, surfacing as
"Timeouted: JPromise was destroyed!".

Route every request through a new `PermissionRequestDispatcher` that
registers one shared listener, keys the pending continuations by request
code, and serializes requests with a `Mutex` so Android only ever sees
one at a time.

Fixes #3834
