Added: Allow users to disable termux file view and share receivers

The user can add `disable-file-share-receiver=true` entry to `termux.properties` file to disable termux from showing in Android file `Share With` apps list. The user can add `disable-file-view-receiver=true` entry to `termux.properties` file to disable termux from showing in Android file `Open With` apps list. The default value is `false`. Restarting termux app or running `termux-reload-settings` command will update the behaviour instantaneously if changed. Closes #2549
