Drop READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, bump to 1.2.35+151

Browse Source 
Play's photo and video permissions policy refused version 150 over this, and
was right to. The policy allows the permission only where a system picker is
"technically insufficient to provide core app functionality", and the app's
real need is the opposite of that:

  * every operational photograph opens the camera directly — parcel shots at
    pickup, proof of delivery at the door, stop verification. None read the
    library, deliberately: a picture chosen from the gallery could have been
    taken anywhere at any time and would not be evidence that a parcel was
    collected or delivered;
  * the one gallery read in the whole app is a rider setting their profile
    photograph, once, at sign-up.

That is the textbook "one-time or infrequent" case the policy points at the
Android photo picker for. image_picker 1.1.2 already routes
ImageSource.gallery through that system picker on Android 13+ when the
permission is absent, so the profile picker keeps working and needs no
permission at all.

READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE stays, still capped at maxSdkVersion 32, for devices
older than the photo picker.

Verified absent from the built bundle's merged manifest rather than only from
the source.

Play's photo and video permissions policy refused it and was right to.
The policy allows it only where a system picker is "technically
insufficient to provide core app functionality", and here it is not
even close:
* every operational photograph opens the CAMERA directly — parcel
shots at pickup, proof of delivery at the door, stop verification.
None of them read the library, deliberately: a picture chosen from
the gallery could have been taken anywhere at any time and would
not be evidence that a parcel was collected or delivered;
* the ONE gallery read in the app is a rider setting their profile
photograph, once, at sign-up.
So the app's real need is the textbook "one-time or infrequent" case
the policy points at the Android photo picker for. image_picker 1.1.2
already routes `ImageSource.gallery` through that system picker on
Android 13+ when this permission is absent, so removing it keeps the
profile picker working and needs no permission at all. -->
<!-- For older Android versions, where the photo picker does not exist.
Capped at 32: from 33 the system picker above governs this, and
requesting broad storage on a modern device is both ineffective and a
Play review flag. -->
