Add license verification for Android app

Implements a LicenseVerifier class to ensure app integrity and license compliance:
- Verifies the app's package name matches the official release
- Validates app signature against official release signature
- Allows debug and EA (Early Access) builds
- Shows violation dialog and exits if verification fails
- Enforces GPLv3 license compliance for modified versions

This helps prevent unauthorized modified versions from being distributed
without source code, as required by the GPLv3 license.
