There are several (popular) phone models out there that have bugs in
their MediaPlayer implementation that cause them to be unable to play
voice notes. By moving to ExoPlayer, an application-level media player,
we should avoid most of these headaches and stardardize playback.
Fixes#7748
Occasionally a job may be run when the app is in a network-restricted
mode, like a form of doze. When this happens, jobs can timeout due to
lack of network access, causing a cascade of job delays. This is
particularly bad in the case of message retrieval.
To prevent this, if a job that normally requires network detects that no
network is available when running, then we start a foreground
notification.
A new, fullscreen camera capture flow that easily allows you to capture
and edit a photo before sending it. Replaces the current half-screen
camera button.
This also fixes the situation where we block group-leave messages,
preventing blocked contacts from leaving groups.

Also, this forced us to upgrade libsignal-service, which fixes the
websocket timeout issues. Thanks to @dpapavas!
Fixes#6644
If the user has an external SD card set as their default storage
(notably on a Huawei device, like the Huawei Mate 10 Lite), then
PersistentBlobProvider will try to write a file to the SD card, but
would fail to generate a URI for it due to us missing a line in our
FileProvider setup. This just adds that missing entry.
Special thanks to @aleb2000 for digging into this!

We were getting an IllegalArgumentException during channel creation on
some Samsung phones. Stack trace didn't give me much more than that, so
just adding in some additional safeguards that make sense based on
reading AOSP.
We were getting a TransactionTooLargeException when giving an
EditText a very large (1.5MB+) text block. This has been resolved
by switching to a RecyclerView to show the text line-by-line. As a
side-effect, this improves scroll performance on lower-end devices.
Also, I added a button to jump to the bottom of the log because I
really wanted one :)
Fixes#8124
