Subject: [PATCH] test(android-e2e): read the logcat tail for rotation evidence

The first CI failure with the evidence hook (PR #2356, run 34029660070)
lost its logcat section: dumping the emulator's whole 2MB buffer took
longer than the 5s per-probe bound on the loaded host. The probe now
reads the last 4000 lines, which holds the rotation decisions of the
last minutes and returns well inside the bound.
