Distribute Magisk directly with Magisk Manager APK. The APK will
contain all required binaries and scripts for installation and
uninstallation. App versions will now align with Magisk releases.
Extra effort is spent to make the APK itself also a flashable zip that
can be used in custom recoveries, so those still prefer to install
Magisk with recoveries will not be affected with this change.
As a bonus, this makes the whole installation and uninstallation
process 100% offline. The existing Magisk Manager was not really
functional without an Internet connection, as the installation process
was highly tied to zips hosted on the server.
An additional bonus: since all binaries are now shipped as "native
libraries" of the APK, we can finally bump the target SDK version
higher than 28. The target SDK version was stuck at 28 for a long time
because newer SELinux restricts running executables from internal
storage. More details can be found here: https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072
The target SDK bump will be addressed in a future commit.

Only try to read preference through content provider when the app
is fresh install and a previous package ID is set. Also catch all
Exceptions to prevent crashing the app.
This prevents malicious settings injection and crashes when multiple
manager is installed.
Fix#3542
Due to changes in ec3705f2ed, the app can
no longer communicate with the dameon through a socket opened on the
daemon side due to SELinux restrictions. The workaround here is to have
the daemon decide a socket name, send it to the app, have the app create
the socket server, then finally the daemon connects to the app through
the socket.
The FlashActivity has been removed and all of it's functionality has been transferred to the FlashFragment.
The FlashFragment needs to be however launched in a different way than the activity using the MainActivity's stub and so seemingly massive changes had to be made.
Notably the RemoteFileService didn't seem to be calling Service.startForeground(), which has been crashing the application due to the system requirements, so that's been fixed.
