misc/android: use adb exec-out instead of adb shell to avoid buffering

According to

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46233200/stop-buffering-of-adb-shell-output

the adb exec-out commands avoids the buffering inherent to adb shell.

Let's see if using exec-out will fix the android builder flakyness where
exitcodes or output were sometimes missing.

Updates #30512 (perhaps fixes it).
