installer: Move GS290 to a15

Sahil Sonarrequested to merge
1705-a15-GS290 into main

Description

The userdebug devices such as GS290 using adb sideload doesn't ack after last verification block has been sent to device. The actual installation however starts after verification block and only after installation the device returns DONEDONE. Default timeout being 30s for each packet always leads to error while sideloading such as below:

[DEBUG] Sideloading block 23220/23228                 
  error.manager.js:11 -------------------DISPLAY ERROR  
  ----------------

  Sideload GS290-sideload-rom.zip failed: Sideload      
  fails USB receive timed out after 30000ms

After patch: (By setting upperbound for only adb sideload to 5 min) Screenshot_From_2026-04-20_01-11-04

While at it I noticed the sideloading has no progress bar and all the block data is already present just need to plot the progress bar! (Somehow the back and forth progress bar also vanished after some recent changes? 😀 )
