Add independent options for clearing history, site data, cache, passwords, form data and site settings. Clear selected data when the last browser activity finishes and before browsing can begin the next time Vanadium opens.

There is one unresolved edge case though: if android destroys the vanadium activity without finishing it and the process remains alive, the pending recreation can cause the next launch to be treated as the same session and skip startup cleanup. Thoughts? |

Closes #966
Adds independent automatic cleanup options for browsing history, site data, cache, passwords, form data, and site settings.
The selected data is cleared when the last browser activity finishes and before browsing can begin the next time Vanadium is opened. The startup cleanup covers cases where Android terminated the previous process before exit cleanup could run. Only one cleanup runs at a time. Custom Tab page preloading remains blocked while any cleanup option is selected or a cleanup is still running, preventing preloaded pages from overlapping cleanup.
To be clear, pressing Home or switching apps does not count as closing Vanadium
