docs: note android sms capability

Add sms.send command to allow sending text messages via the paired Android device.

Changes:
- Add SmsManager class to handle SMS sending via Android SmsManager API
- Add ClawdisSmsCommand enum and Sms capability to protocol constants
- Wire sms.send command into NodeRuntime invoke handler
- Add SEND_SMS permission to AndroidManifest.xml
- Advertise sms capability when SEND_SMS permission is granted

The SMS capability is only advertised when the user has granted SEND_SMS
permission. Messages longer than 160 chars are automatically split into
multipart messages.

+## SMS (Android nodes)
+
+Android nodes can expose `sms.send` when the user grants **SMS** permission and the device supports telephony.
+
+Low-level invoke:
+
+```bash
+clawdis nodes invoke --node <idOrNameOrIp> --command sms.send --params '{"to":"+15555550123","message":"Hello from Clawdis"}'
+```
+
+Notes:
+- The permission prompt must be accepted on the Android device before the capability is advertised.
+- Wi-Fi-only devices without telephony will not advertise `sms.send`.
+
 ## System commands (mac node)
 
 The macOS node exposes `system.run` and `system.notify`.
