Decompile and recreate Soul Browser v1.4.85 with APK CI builds (#1)
* Decompile and recreate Soul Browser v1.4.85 with APK CI builds

Co-authored-by: KaKi87 <KaKi87@pm.me>

* Fix CI build: include bundled google.jks and remove PR trigger

The apktool build failed in CI because app/unknown/.../google.jks was
excluded by the *.jks gitignore rule. Whitelist app-bundled JKS files
and commit the missing resource.

Also remove the redundant pull_request workflow trigger.

* Change package ID to com.github.kaki87.soulbrowser

Rename the application ID so the rebuilt APK can be installed
alongside the original Soul Browser from Google Play.

- Update AndroidManifest package, permissions, providers, and actions
- Update R class references in smali (com/github/kaki87/soulbrowser/R)
- Update shortcuts.xml targetPackage
- Rename app label to "Soul Rebuild" for easy identification

* Fix install compatibility: remove split APK metadata and bundle native libs

The rebuilt APK still declared requiredSplitTypes and Play Store split
metadata, causing Android to reject standalone installs as incompatible.

- Remove requiredSplitTypes and split-related manifest meta-data
- Merge native libs from all ABI splits with uncompressed storage
- Page-align before signing for extractNativeLibs=false
- Add .so to apktool doNotCompress list

* Fix install failure: use apksigner v2/v3 and bundle arm64 native libs

Target SDK 36 requires APK Signature Scheme v2+, but jarsigner only
produces v1 signatures, causing Android to reject the install.

- Sign with apksigner (v1+v2+v3) instead of jarsigner
- Add arm64-v8a native libraries from universal Soul Browser 1.4.79
- Set extractNativeLibs=true for reliable sideload installs
- Commit stable debug keystore for consistent signatures across builds

* Fix startup crash: use original classes2.dex desugar libraries

Apktool recompiles smali_classes2 into a broken classes2.dex, causing
ClassNotFoundException for j$.com.android.tools.r8.a at ML Kit init.

Inject the original classes2.dex (Java 8+ desugar libs) after apktool
build instead of using the recompiled version.

* Fix missing drawable resources from density split APKs

The base APK is an app bundle module; density-specific drawables like
seek_thumb_nor_b live in config.xhdpi.apk and were missing after rebuild,
causing Resources$NotFoundException at runtime.

- Merge non-9-patch resources from split APKs before apktool build
- Sync public.xml IDs from R smali only when backing files exist
- Add 713 density-specific resource IDs to public.xml
