Add a page for the emulator

This page aims to give details to use an /e/ OS Emulator.

## Download

1. Install Android Studio from https://developer.android.com/studio

2. Download the emulator image from https://images.ecloud.global/dev/sdk_phone_x86_64/

## Extract the emulator image 

Extract the emulator archive into the following directory:

```plaintext

SDK_PATH/system-images/android-33/lineage/

```

with `SDK_PATH` corresponding to your Android SDK path (i.e. $ANDROID_HOME)

{% include alerts/tip.html content="We use `android-33` as the current emulator runs Android 13"%}

Once you extracted the archive, you will end up with something like this:

```shell

$ ls ~/Android/Sdk/system-images/android-30/lineage/x86

advancedFeatures.ini  build.prop  data  encryptionkey.img  kernel-ranchu-64  NOTICE.txt  package.xml  ramdisk.img  source.properties  system.img  userdata.img  vendor.img  VerifiedBootParams.textproto

```

## Using the emulator from Android Studio
