Allow uploading files from other apps on Android via the Share mechanism

I originally posted this here, but I'm reposting (with some more detail) since that repository has been archived.


Standard Notes should expose an entry on the standard Android share screen, which allows the user to attach a file to a note.

For an example use case, if I use the Pixel Recordings app to make a recording, I should be able to share the audio file and transcript directly to Standard Notes for upload, rather than having to first export the recording to general device storage using a third party file manager, upload it to Standard Notes, and finally delete the copy in general storage. If I didn't have a file manager app installed that adds a "Save as" option to the Share menu, I'd have had to export my recording by using an insecure cloud service!

This may apply to iOS too.
