Added|Fixed!: Added support to save reports to files and fixed large reports generating TransactionTooLargeException

If `ReportActivity` was started with a large report, i.e a few hundred `KB`, like for terminal transcript or other command output, the activity start would fail. To solve the issue, if the serialized size of the ReportInfo info object is above `DataUtils.TRANSACTION_SIZE_LIMIT_IN_BYTES` (`100KB`), it will be saved to a file in a cache directory `/data/data/com.termux/cache/report_activity` as a serialized object and loaded when activity is started. The file will be automatically deleted when activity is destroyed (`Activity.onDetroy()`) or when notification that would have started the activity is deleted (`Notification.deleteIntent`). In case, these two didn't happen, then on `TermuxActivity` startup, a thread will be started to delete files older than `14` days so that unneeded left over files are deleted. If user tries to open plugin error or crash report notifications after 14 days, they will get `ReportInfo` file not found errors, assuming `TermuxActivity` was started to run the cleanup routine.

Now these large reports can't be copied or shared with other apps since that would again result in `TransactionTooLargeException` exceptions and `ShareUtils` automatically truncates the data (now from end) to `100KB` length so that the exception doesn't occur. So now a `Save To File` option has been added in context menu (3 dots on top right) of `ReportActivity` so that large or small reports can be saved to a file if needed. They will be save in root of `/storage/emulated/0` or whatever is the default public external storage directory. The filename would depend on type of report. The storage permissions will be asked if missing. On android `11`, if you get permission denied errors even after granting permission, disable permission and grant it again. To solve privacy issues of report being saved to public storage since it may contain private info, an option for custom path will be added in future. The default directory is public storage instead of termux home since its easily accessible via all file managers or from pc. Instructing amateur users to get files via `SAF` from termux home is not something I wanna take on.

Another issue is that `ReportActivity` itself may not be able to show the entire report since Android may throw `OutOfMemoryError` exceptions if device memory is low. To solve this issue, `ReportActivity` will truncate the report to `1MB` from end that's shown to the user. It will add a header showing that report was truncated. To view the full report, the user will have to use the `Save To File` option and view the file in an external app or on pc that supports opening large files. The `QuickEdit` app on Android has been a reliable one in my experience that supports large files, although it has max row/column limits too at a few hundred thousand, depending on android version.

Despite all this, `OutOfMemoryError` exceptions could still be thrown if you try to view too large a report, like a few MB, since original report + the truncated report is still held in memory by the app and will consume `2-3` times memory when saving. It's fun coding for android, right?

The terminal transcript will not be truncated anymore that's generated via `Report Issue` option in terminal.

The `ShareUtils.copyTextToClipboard()` will truncate data now automatically, apparently all phones don't do it automatically and exception is raised.

The `ShareUtils.saveTextToFile()` has been added that will automatically ask for storage permissions if missing.

The `ReportInfo` now expects a `reportSaveFileLabel` and `reportSaveFilePath` arguments so that `ReportActivity` can use them to know where to save the file if users selects `Save To File` option.

The `ReportActivityBroadcastReceiver` must now be registered in `AndroidManifest.xml` if you are using `ReportActivity` in your app. Check `ReportActivity` javadoc for details. Moreover, an incremental call to `ReportActivity.deleteReportInfoFilesOlderThanXDays()` must also be made.
