READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO

[dbacinski]

Library is declaring in manifest two permissions READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO

https://github.com/esafirm/android-image-picker/blob/main/imagepicker/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L10

There is a new policy on Google Play not to use READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO if it is not core app functionality:

Those permissions should be removed from library or else it won't be usable for most apps.

I suppose that there is no chance to remove these permissions from the library.

We need to migrate from this library to Android Photo Picker in our apps to continue distributing them via Google Play.

But we can configure in our apps two different build variants: one with Android Photo Picker to upload it to Google Play and one with this library to upload it to other stores or to install directly from apk.
