Adds a 'Select folders manually' toggle in Media library settings. When enabled, the library is built only from folders the user picks with the system folder picker (OpenDocumentTree), which can enter hidden (dot) folders that MediaStore never indexes. - Picked SAF tree URIs are persisted and scanned via DocumentsContract and fed into the existing library/sync pipeline; normal MediaStore mode is unchanged. - Manage folders becomes an add/remove list in manual mode. - Thumbnails: the ffmpeg retriever can't open SAF content URIs, so it is now optional and the native retriever produces the frame; the video decoder also applies when the mime type is unknown/generic but the URI has a video extension. - Folder-tree recursion guarded against self-referential nodes. - Minimal delay on manual refresh so the pull-to-refresh spinner shows. Closes anilbeesetti#1038

Adds a 'Select folders manually' toggle in Media library settings. When enabled, the library is built only from folders the user picks with the system folder picker (OpenDocumentTree).
In this mode the app does its own folder scanning and does not rely on MediaStore.
Warning: coded with AI, take it or leave it, won't take any offense if you don't.
.nomedia, app folders like Telegram, etc.) are included. Normal (non-manual) MediaStore mode is untouched.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE/ All-files access, and no new manifest permissions..nomediaare skipped.Closes #1038, Closes #1126, Closes #467, Closes #1719
