Implement Firebase authentication for verifying incoming Android messages
Fix part of #53
Feedback reporting currently verifies Android requests in the backend by checking a secrete API key. This only validates a message and cannot safely guarantee the sender of the message. Firebase anonymous authentication allows a more secure method to safely authenticate the message sender.
@jcqli I would like to work on this issue, can you please specify where in the app we're using this?

We currently do not use Firebase authentication at all, and this would likely need to be implemented for all our network requests, not just feedback reporting. I don't believe this issue is ready to be started yet, @BenHenning WDYT?
