Android: Don't access /dev/ashmem on newer Android versions

Fixes a critical regression where 95945a0 made us unable to
start emulation on Android 10 and newer. Android is restricting
direct access to /dev/ashmem starting with the new SDK version,
but we can use the new (and simpler) ASharedMemory API instead.
We have to keep using the /dev/ashmem approach on old versions
of Android, though.
