catch more specific errors

[kiftio]

What changes are you making?

Replaces broad catch (e: Exception) blocks with specific exception types (SerializationException, NoSuchElementException, SecurityException) across the Android platform to avoid silently swallowing unexpected exceptions.

• CheckoutBridge: Catches SerializationException and NoSuchElementException separately, extracting the error notification logic into a shared notifyDecodeFailure helper.
• CheckoutProtocol: Narrows exception handling in error, windowOpen, and checkout notification decoders, and refactors Client.process to extract decodeRequest with a scoped SerializationException catch. Replaces runCatching with an explicit try/catch in Typed.dispatch.
• EmbeddedCheckoutProtocol: Replaces unsafe jsonObject, jsonArray, and jsonPrimitive extension property accesses (which throw IllegalArgumentException) with safe as? casts that throw SerializationException on invalid structure, ensuring malformed ec.ready params are handled as parse errors.
• ExternalUriLauncher: Narrows the fallback catch to SecurityException only.
• CheckoutErrorDecoder and CheckoutCompletedEventDecoder: Replace catch (e: Exception) with SerializationException (and NoSuchElementException where applicable).

A test is added to verify that an empty error payload body triggers onCheckoutViewFailedWithError, and two new tests confirm that non-object ec.ready params and a non-array delegate field both produce a parse error response. A new ExternalUriLauncherTest verifies that a SecurityException from startActivity results in a Rejected result.

How to test

1. Run the Android unit test suite: ./gradlew :lib:test
2. Verify the new tests pass:
   • CheckoutBridgeTest – should call onCheckoutViewFailedWithError if error payload is empty
   • EmbeddedCheckoutProtocolTest – ec ready with non-object params sends parse error and ec ready with non-array delegate sends parse error
   • ExternalUriLauncherTest – launch rejects when startActivity throws security exception
3. Confirm no regressions in existing checkout flow tests.
