refactor(android): move cleartext opt-out into a networkSecurityConfig — #2439

android / Build + lint + test (push) Successful in 3m46s
`android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"` sat on <application> as a bare opt-out of the platform's network-security default, with nothing recorded about why. It's now a res/xml/network_security_config.xml carrying the same permission and the reasoning behind it. Behaviour is unchanged. networkSecurityConfig supersedes the attribute on API 24+ and our minSdk is 26, so the attribute is removed rather than kept alongside. Cleartext stays permitted because two independent things need it, and neither can be narrowed to a domain list: - The Minstrel server's host is user-entered at runtime, and plenty of self-hosters run plain HTTP on a LAN. - UPnP/DLNA/Sonos — device-description and SOAP control URLs arrive in SSDP responses at runtime and are plain HTTP essentially always. This one wasn't in the original ticket, which only considered the server; it independently rules out the "tighten it later to RFC1918" idea, since <domain-config> matches literal hostnames, not CIDR ranges, and renderer IPs are unknowable ahead of time. Trust anchors deliberately left at the platform default. Adding <certificates src="user" /> would let self-hosters use HTTPS with a private CA — which Mihon does, and which suits this product — but it also trusts every CA on the device including a corporate MITM proxy. Raised separately rather than assumed as a default. tools:ignore="InsecureBaseConfiguration" mirrors Mihon's config and keeps lintVitalRelease quiet about a choice that is deliberate and now documented.
