As Google's library for showing licences isn't open-source, this commit
reimplements its main Activity. This is in prevision to having an OSS
flavor of fenix.
We chose to not introduce dependencies to third-party libraries
such as AboutLibraries for now, and we'll stick to using Google's gradle
plugin for the dependencies extraction.
Fixes#7584

New API (installBuiltIn/ensureBuiltin) requires
- Gecko IDs and new permissions
- Extension will only be re-installed if it has a new version
This includes a gradle task to automatically generate a
new version in manifest.json for every build so we don't
forget to update the version and end up with changes that
are never applied.
This was achived by:
* Adding `-printconfiguration r8.txt` to `proguard-rules.pro`
* Copying the part from start of `r8.txt` to before the `-printconfiguration` line into its own file.
This gets us exactly what was used in the bundled version.
This avoids BuildConfig modifications between local dev builds,
and speeds up the builds by avoiding running tasks that depend on BuildConfig.
Locally, depending on exact build circumstances, this saves about 5% of build runtime
for simple code changes, and about 90% of build runtime for no-op builds.
We were supposed to have removed Experiments for performance purposes.
However, I find some code dangling in the tree.
Experiments.initialize is no longer called so I suspect
Experiments.withExperiment is a no-op. I verified that the lambda
function provided to it never ran in my local geckoBetaDebug on startup.
Assuming experiments behavior doesn't change in other build types, this
change appears safe.
* For #9644: remove unnecessary leanplum maven repository.
The docs say it is [1] "only needed for Android SDK versions below 4.3.0".
That is API 18 and our min SDK is 21.

* For #9644: move buildscript block from :app to root project.
This will reduce the amount of duplication we need in specifying
restricted dependencies and centralize repository definitions. Since
we're a one project app, it shouldn't have a significant impact on
performance.
* For #9644: restrict dependencies following FFTV config.
However, there is a resolution error to be fixed in the next commit.
This is verbatim from FFTV except I removed the no-op "improve security
if code is refactored incorrectly" lines: these lines rarely changed and
I'm not that concerned. It might be better to simplify the
configuration.

* For #9644: restrict firebase deps to google repo.
This fixes the resolution error from the previous PR.
They were both in their packages by themselves, which feels unnecessary.
Unfortunately, a utils pkg is discouraged by kotlin but we don't have a
better place for them right now. Maybe an annotations/ pkg for the
latter?
