- Adds Swappy for Android for stable frame pacing
- Implements pre-transformed Swapchain so that Godot's compositor is in
charge of rotating the screen instead of Android's compositor
(performance optimization for phones that don't have HW rotator)
============================
The work was performed by collaboration of TheForge and Google. I am
merely splitting it up into smaller PRs and cleaning it up.
Changes from original PR:
- Removed "display/window/frame_pacing/android/target_frame_rate" option
to use Engine::get_max_fps instead.
- Target framerate can be changed at runtime using Engine::set_max_fps.
- Swappy is enabled by default.
- Added documentation.
- enable_auto_swap setting is replaced with swappy_mode.
`core/os/os.h` doesn't use `core/io/image.h`. It just brings
transitive dependencies. Lots of dependencies because `core/os/os.h`
is transitively included in almost every file of godot
Also added `core/io/image.h` into files^1 where `Ref<Image>` and `core/os/os.h`
were used to prevent obscure errors involving `Ref<Image>`
^1 except those which include `core/io/image_loader.h` or `core/io/image.h` by
corresponding .h file with the same name

Thanks for the fix of `JavaClassWrapper` in https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/96182 and the changes in the previous commit, this introduces an `AndroidRuntime` plugin which provides GDScript access to the Android runtime capabilities.
This allows developers to get access to various Android capabilities without the need of a plugin.
For example, the following logic can be used to check whether the device supports vibration:
```
var android_runtime = Engine.get_singleton("AndroidRuntime")
if android_runtime:
print("Checking if the device supports vibration")
var vibrator_service = android_runtime.getApplicationContext().getSystemService("vibrator")
if vibrator_service:
if vibrator_service.hasVibrator():
print("Vibration is supported on device!")
else:
printerr("Vibration is not supported on device")
else:
printerr("Unable to retrieve the vibrator service")
else:
printerr("Couldn't find AndroidRuntime singleton")
```
The Android plugin implementation is updated to use `JavaClassWrapper` which was fixed in https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/96182, thus removing the limitation on supported types.
Note that `JavaClassWrapper` has also been updated in order to only provide access to public methods and constructor to GDScript.
A few permissions including the `USE_SCENE` permission are being renamed with the launch of the Meta Spatial SDK, so we update the excluded list to avoid requesting them on app start.
Some platforms don't support hostfxr but we can use the coreclr/monosgen library directly to initialize the runtime.
Android exports now use the `android` runtime identifier instead of `linux-bionic`, this removes the restrictions we previously had:
- Adds support for all Android architectures (arm32, arm64, x32, and x64), previously only the 64-bit architectures were supported.
- Loads `System.Security.Cryptography.Native.Android` (the .NET library that binds to the Android OS crypto functions).
