PR #1213 Adding passive location filter

PR #1218 Email bugfixes:

Adds a Message-ID header to outgoing emails to help reduce spam filtering by mail relays.

Fixes incorrect MIME types by removing a duplicated application/ prefix.

Ensures that the MIME-Version header is included, as recommended by email standards.

WorkManager: for HTTP based background work like Custom URL, should now make use of internet validation before attempting to send.

Experimental: Using significant motion sensor to prevent logging, to save battery

This uses the TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION sensor. https://developer.android.com/develop/sensors-and-location/sensors/sensors_motion#sensors-motion-significant
"A significant motion is a motion that might lead to a change in the user's location; for example walking, biking, or sitting in a moving car."
I have no idea how I overlooked this for 10 years.

The significant motion detection is provided by the OS itself, so it could be completely 'off' for some devices.

Issue #1110 - fix for the layouts on Android 15. What a nightmare this new feature is. So much pointless busywork.

Issue #1187 - auto send timer was causing the app to crash if the background work permission had been optimized or denied. I've now made it use Alarm Manager Compat.

Oops, this got released as "131-rc2" in the version name. It's meant to be 131.

Housekeeping and Maintenance

The JobQueue library is quite good, but the library is abandoned, and the same developer has done some work on Android WorkManager.

Switching to WorkManager.

One limitation, you can't pass information in the constructor to the worker (like you did with the JobQueue), instead it has to be passed via a Data, and maximum data size is 10kb.

That size limit means instead of passing an array of locations, I have to pass the file name and get the worker to read from the file and build the locations itself.

I've also updated the build dependencies, some libraries too, seen in build.gradle and AndroidManifest.xml.

Issues

#1129 Clarifying that the auto send also sends when the file name changes.

#1131 OpenStreetMap option to prompt for details when logging starts.

#1083 Send a broadcast when a file is uploaded. This should allow users to delete the file if they'd like.

#1139 A new %SPD_KPH custom URL parameter to help with logging to OwnTracks.

#1138 #1053 Show an error notification when permissions have been revoked but the user is trying to run the app.
