For people who like installing apps via released APK files instead of the Play Store there's an app called Obtainium where you add a GitHub repo as source, and it watches the releases for updates.

This PR adds a badge image (this one) to the docs repo, and embeds that image in the Android install docs, with a link to an Obtainium URL which opens the app and a view where the NetBird repo is configured.

Unfortunately the way the image is embedded, when just clicking on it it leads to a preview of the image, instead of opening the Obtainium URL, and you have to right-click and open the link in a new tab to actually be redirected. But it's the same behavior with the Google Play badge above. Maybe a different className should be used for both? But that could be a separate PR, while this one focuses on just adding the Obtainium badge with the same behavior as the Google Play badge.


Tested with npm install && npm run dev on my laptop, then visiting the network IP on my Android phone, where Obtainium is installed.
