step E.minus-1: cpp_smoke renamed to .c and compiled as plain C

c++_shared crashed, c++_static crashed, no stdlib crashed. The remaining
variable isolated to cc::Build::new().cpp(true) itself is the C++
compile-mode invocation of clang++. Rename cpp_smoke.cpp → cpp_smoke.c
and drop .cpp(true), leaving a plain-C cc::Build that compiles the
exact same bytes (minus the 'extern "C"' linkage spec which is C++-
only syntax).

This is structurally identical to Step A (hello.c), which worked. If
THIS build launches, the diff between 'works' and 'crashes' is purely
the .cpp(true) mode — something clang++ does differently at compile
or link time when producing object files for a Tauri Android cdylib.
