tech:2617: localstate from sharedpref to pref DataStore

Guillaume Jacquart requested to merge 2617-prefdatastore into main

Description

AdvancedPrivacy use sharedpreferences to store various settings of the apps, like which feature is activated, what is the fakelocation location, ...

Android provides the Preferences Datastore component to upgrade the SharedPreferences component and fix some bad sides. Main improvements are better thread handling, and better synchronization handling.

We also use SharedPreferences for trackers whitelist, and it is used in OrbotService, but these would not be the subject of this issue.
