android: lazily init app in Client (#563)

-Lazily init app in Client to ensure that we aren't trying to make any local API calls before app has been initialized.
-Add @volatile to ensure that isInitialized is always visible across threads and uses the updated value

Updates tailscale/tailscale#14125
