- Add support for dispatching input on the render thread (UI thread is the current default) when `input_buffering` and `accumulated_input` are disabled. At the expense of latency, this helps prevent 'heavy' applications / games from blocking the UI thread (the default behavior) which may cause the application to ANR.
- Remove GLSurfaceView logic causing the UI thread to wait on the GL thread during lifecycle events. The removed logic would cause the UI thread to ANR when the GL thread is blocked.

The feature was added in Godot 4.2, but it goes against recommended best practices for permissions request, as such it's being reverted.
In its place, developers now have to explicitly request the permissions they need to access.
Decouples the Godot java entry point from the Android Fragment component. This enables the Godot component to be more easily reused across different types of Android components including Activities and Services.
The follow options were added to the (new) `run/window_placement/android_window` editor setting:
- `Same as Editor`: run the project in the same window as the editor
- `Side-by-side with Editor`: run the project in an adjacent window to the editor
- `Auto`: choose how to run the project based on the device screen size
Move the benchmarking measuring methods from `Engine` to `OS` to allow for platform specific overrides (e.g: can be used to hook into platform specific benchmarking and tracing capabilities).
This addresses issues where some drivers are reporting they don't meet the vulkan hardware level 1 support requirements even though they render as expected when the check is removed.
