Claude 69457ec10d build: make release APKs reproducible
AGP embeds a dependency-metadata blob (the resolved dependency tree, a
protobuf encrypted with a Google public key) into the APK/AAB signing
block by default. That ciphertext is non-deterministic, so it was the one
remaining thing preventing our release artifacts from being rebuilt
bit-for-bit by a third party.

Disable it via dependenciesInfo { includeInApk = false; includeInBundle =
false }. Combined with the already-pinned toolchain (AGP/Kotlin/R8/JDK 21),
the absence of any build-time clock in BuildConfig, and a deterministic
version name, release APKs now reproduce exactly — letting F-Droid /
Zapstore independently verify our developer-signed builds. Play derives
this dependency data server-side, so nothing is lost there.

Document the guarantee and a diffoscope-based verification recipe in
BUILDING.md.
