PushService was a dataSync foreground service. Android 15 stops dataSync
after six hours a day and expects the service to stop itself on
onTimeout; it never did, so with target 36 the app would crash. A held-open
push connection is not a transfer either, which is what Play reserves
dataSync for.
- The service is now specialUse, with the PROPERTY_SPECIAL_USE_FGS_SUBTYPE
reason Play reviews (ntfy does the same on Play). No daily limit.
- PushBootReceiver restarts it after BOOT_COMPLETED and MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED
when push was on and a registration is saved (a sign-out clears it). It
starts the service from the saved topic instead of re-registering, since
the network is often not up at boot.
