Since accessing Bluetooth prompts the user for permission on both Android and iOS, and we only need it for Steam Controller support, we'll leave it off by default. You can enable it by setting the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM to "1" before calling SDL_Init()
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/4952
Direct access to the external storage is no longer allowed as of SDK 30. But on older version of Android you will still need WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in order to request the Download Manager to download files to your external file folder.

You can't set the intent to be immutable, otherwise the USB system can't set the device and permission in the response. This works fine on Android 12 without an immutable intent.
"If your app targets Android 12, you must specify the mutability of each PendingIntent object that your app creates. This additional requirement improves your app's security."
FLAG_IMMUTABLE was added in API 23 so that's why I'm using "> API 23". Using API 30 would also fix the Android 12 issue. Alternatively if PendingIntents should be mutable you could change it to "FLAG_MUTABLE".
It's already set with ANativeWindow_setGeometry, and eventually set/changed also by eglCreateWindowSurface.
- avoid issues with older device where SurfaceView cycle create/changed/destroy appears broken:
calling create/changed/changed, and leading to "deuqueBuffer failed at server side, error: -19", with black screen.
- re-read the format after egl window surface is created, to report the correct one (sometimes, changed from RGBA8888 to RGB24)
This could fix a rare crash if:
- onConfigurationChanged is called before onCreate();
or
shared libraries failed to load and onConfigurationChanged() is called
