Use Build.MODEL for device hostname instead of Build.PRODUCT

[pappz]

Summary

The Android client uses deviceName() in ChangeServerFragment as the peer hostname reported to the NetBird management server (flows through LoginWithSetupKeyAndSaveConfig → system.DeviceNameCtxKey → Info.Hostname).

It previously returned Build.PRODUCT, which is the internal AOSP build product name (e.g. raven, sdk_gphone64_arm64) — not human-readable.

This changes it to Build.MODEL, the user-facing model name (e.g. Pixel 6), giving a more recognizable peer hostname in the NetBird dashboard.

Change

app/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/ui/server/ChangeServerFragment.java

 private String deviceName() {
-    return Build.PRODUCT;
+    return Build.MODEL;
 }

Poem

A tiny hop, a single line,
Model now stands where Product did shine,
One rabbit twitch, one field to change,
A small step made, yet nothing strange. 🐇
