android: Fix multiplayer implementation issues

- Add error handling for network initialization in JNI_OnLoad
- Add input validation and timeout handling for room creation
- Improve cleanup when leaving rooms to prevent memory leaks
- Add error handling and logging for chat message processing
- Improve thread safety for UI updates in message handling

The main fixes include:
1. Network initialization now logs errors instead of failing silently
2. Room creation validates input parameters and has proper timeout handling
3. Room cleanup is now done in the correct order (clear chat, leave, destroy)
4. Chat message processing now has proper error handling and logging
5. UI updates are properly handled on the main thread

These changes improve stability and error handling throughout the
multiplayer implementation.
