Read an unknown SoC as Qualcomm's

The generic runtime is opened only when the QNN build does not fit, and
the fit rests on ro.soc.manufacturer. A property the app cannot read, or
an Android older than 12 that has none, read as "not Qualcomm" would
put a Qualcomm device on the generic rung and off its Hexagon — what
0.22.1 had just fixed. Only a device that names another vendor is now
not Qualcomm's; the tablet reports QTI.
