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.

- Change config key name so default downloads to folder 'Download'
- Always use getFile as we do not need existing file deleted
- Fallback to use File based I/O pre API 29 as officially MediaStore
APIs do not support general purpose usage. And also, it was working
fine on all devices before. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
- Show full download path in settings to make it more clear to the user
- Close streams after using them
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.
