Restricted settings

Allow restricted settings for sideloaded Lawnchair builds on Android 13+.

On Android 13 and later, some sensitive permissions are blocked by default for apps installed outside Google Play.

This includes permissions such as notification access and accessibility services.

To use these features in Lawnchair, you may need to allow restricted settings for the app.

This is usually only required for sideloaded GitHub and Nightly builds. It is usually not needed for the Play Store build.
