Android 18 removes automatic URI permission grants for ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intents. Explicitly add FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION and FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION so the camera app can access the FileProvider output URI. RMET-5241

Summary
Android 18 removes automatic URI permission grants for
ACTION_SEND,ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE, andACTION_IMAGE_CAPTUREintents (apps must now explicitly request them).BridgeWebChromeClient.showImageCapturePicker()launches the camera with a FileProvidercontent://URI inEXTRA_OUTPUTbut never explicitly granted read/write access to it, so on Android 18+ the camera app would silently fail to write the captured photo back into that URI.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSIONandFLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSIONto theACTION_IMAGE_CAPTUREintent.Part of RMET-5241.
Test plan
<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture>photo capture flow via a minimal Capacitor test app and confirmed the captured photo loads back into the WebView.
