Allow playback from ext browser without permission

Duncan McNamara requested to merge Skantes/vlc-android:ext-browser-no-perm into master

Files shared through file providers can be played natively using file descriptors, meaning that they can be opened even though the VLC for Android doesn't have any file access permissions given be the user.

This was tested using the first 6 file managers found on the store. Using devices with Android 8, 12, 14.
