chore: enable Kotlin explicitApi() and Binary Compatibility Validator (.api dumps)

[dkhawk]

Background & Context

During the review of #1716 (feat!: migrate android-maps-ktx into android-maps-utils (v6.0.0), comment), @kikoso noted that android-maps-utils v6.0.0 introduces ~200 new public Kotlin symbols (canonical extensions plus the @Deprecated com.google.maps.android.ktx.* compatibility shim layer), and all new Kotlin code already declares explicit visibility modifiers.

To prevent accidental public API leakage and guarantee binary compatibility across the 6.x release series (especially for the ktx compatibility shims), we should enable explicitApi() and binary compatibility validation as a fast-follow after #1716 merges.

Tasks

• Enable kotlin { explicitApi() } across published library modules (:library, :clustering, :data, :heatmaps, :ui) and add any missing visibility/return-type declarations on existing Kotlin classes.
• Configure org.jetbrains.kotlinx.binary-compatibility-validator (or Kotlin's built-in abiValidation) and commit baseline .api dumps for each published module.
• Add apiCheck to the CI Pull Request workflow so binary-breaking signature changes or unintended public declarations are caught automatically.
