docs: note Android AVF ARM64 field report (refs #2364)

Add a narrow README note for the community ARM64 Android AVF field
report: Hermes Agent + WebUI running inside a Debian 12 VM on a
mid-range Android phone with cloud-hosted inference.

The note frames the report as a compatibility signal rather than an
official support baseline or provider/model benchmark, and records
practical mobile caveats around first-install compile time, Android
tab reloads, and battery optimization.

Closes nesquena/hermes-webui#2483

### Community field report: ARM64 Android via AVF
A community report in [#2364](https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui/issues/2364)
documents Hermes Agent + WebUI running on a mid-range ARM64 Android phone inside
a Debian 12 VM via Android Virtualization Framework (AVF). The reported setup
used a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G, 3.8 GiB RAM allocated to the VM, 8 visible
CPU cores, Chrome on Android at `localhost:8787`, and cloud-hosted inference.
This is not an official support baseline or provider/model benchmark, but it is
a useful compatibility signal for mobile ARM64 experiments: the WebUI rendered
smoothly in Chrome, ARM64 Debian worked for the agent stack, and the total local
footprint was about 1.7 GB. Practical caveats from the report: first install can
take longer when dependencies compile from source, Android browser tabs may
reload when switching apps, and disabling battery optimization for the terminal
or VM host may be needed for longer-running sessions.
> **Tip:** If using Docker, set `HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0` in your
> `docker-compose.yml` environment (already the default) and set
> `HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD`.
