beeware/briefcase#2788 added the ability to create an Android emulator with no skin by specifying a device type but no skin type; this change was made to Toga in beeware/toga#4316, but the equivalent change was never made here.
This is needed because Google puts a fairly heavy rate limit on skin downloads, so if there's a bunch of Android CI jobs started at once (as often happens on first-of-the-month Dependabot runs), the CI jobs fail because of skin downloads, not because of an actual problem.
The skin is entirely cosmetic; it doesn't alter CI operation.
