Recording in background on android 10+ using accessibility service

Jiří Kuchyňka (Anty) requested to merge anty150/android-call-recorder:master into dev

On Android 10+ it is not possible to record sound in the background by default. Only solution I've found so far is using accessibility service.

With this patch and enabled "Calls Recording" accessibility service I was able to record my side of the call from Voice Recognition channel (Voice Line and Mic did record only silence). (Tested on Fairphone 4)

Merge request is against master branch. I was unable to build dev branch (not sure why). In case you find this merge request useful I'll rebase it on dev if required.

Side note: Using accessibility service for this purpose is against Google Play policies. In case you plan on reinstating this app on Google Play, this change might make it even harder.
