This commit completes the work started in the search refactor by migrating all remaining legacy file/media permission checks to the new, centralized `FileAccessManager`. Previously, features like the wallpaper preview and backup system used the side-effect based permission model that created a poor user experience, especially on modern Android versions. This change unifies all file and media access logic under the new, observable `StateFlow`-based system. This includes: - Refactoring the wallpaper drawable access logic to correctly handle the various states of media permissions on Android 13+. This is disabled by default on Play Store builds, due to lack of `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission. - Updating the backup/restore system to use the new manager. - Updating the blur wallpaper feature to use the new manager. - Migrating the OTA update check to use the new manager. - Replacing the "Notification Dots" permission bottom sheet with the new, simpler `PermissionDialog` for UI consistency. Credit-to: @lebao3105 for the initial analysis of the wallpaper permission issue. Fixes #5632 Fixes #5676
