Rather than bringing in the emulator docs from the Xamarin docs repo, it may be best to leave them in the MAUI docset:

These docs are essentially the Xamarin.Android emulator/device docs, in updated form. They've had screenshots updated, and the h/w acceleration options updated, to name but a few things. Duplicating docs isn't a good idea, for all kinds of reasons. Alternatively, they could move from the MAUI docset to the .NET Android docset, but I'm also doubtful that's a good idea.

Also, I've previously looked into why the Android emulator/device docs get so many page views. Users are largely landing there from a link in the Visual Studio UI.

[davidbritch]

Similarly, some of the other docs already have MAUI equivalents.
