ScreenTinker 66ef47239f fix(android): Android 14+ MediaProjection / foreground-service compliance (#5)
On Android 14+ (targetSdk 34) the app could fail to run at all on newer devices
(Pixel 10, onn HD stick). Root cause: the always-on WebSocketService called the
2-arg startForeground(), which claims EVERY foreground-service type declared in
the manifest - including mediaProjection. Android 14 rejects starting a
mediaProjection-typed FGS without a MediaProjection consent token, so the core
service threw on launch and the player never came up. Matches the reporter's
"screen recording policy" hunch - via the FGS type, not the capture trigger.

Fixes:
- WebSocketService now claims ONLY mediaPlayback (explicit
  startForeground(..., FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK), API>=29 guarded;
  2-arg on older). Manifest type narrowed to mediaPlayback.
- New MediaProjectionService (manifest type mediaProjection), started only AFTER
  the user grants consent. It enters the foreground with the mediaProjection type
  BEFORE getMediaProjection() (required on 14+), then drives ScreenCaptureService.
  The consent Activity now hands the result to this service instead of calling
  getMediaProjection() directly (an Activity can't hold that FGS type).
- ScreenCaptureService: register the MediaProjection.Callback BEFORE
  createVirtualDisplay() (Android 14 throws IllegalStateException otherwise).

Verified: Kotlin compiles, manifest merges (WebSocketService=mediaPlayback,
MediaProjectionService=mediaProjection), signed debug APK builds. NOT yet
verified on-device - needs a Pixel 10 / onn-stick run + logcat to confirm the
exact crash is resolved.
