Android: don't need to set the SurfaceHolder format from java code

It's already set with ANativeWindow_setGeometry, and eventually set/changed also by eglCreateWindowSurface.
 - avoid issues with older device where SurfaceView cycle create/changed/destroy appears broken:
   calling create/changed/changed, and leading to "deuqueBuffer failed at server side, error: -19", with black screen.
 - re-read the format after egl window surface is created, to report the correct one (sometimes, changed from RGBA8888 to RGB24)
