Cherry-pick of #112679 for Godot 4.5.

This update improves the launch flow for the Godot Android editor and the Godot Android app template by leveraging activity-alias to act as the app's entry point.

This provides several benefits, most importantly, the ability to limit the app's public surface area, and the flexibility to change the internal app launch logic without changing its manifest declaration.
