This commit fixes the critical crash on Android 9 (API 28) that occurred when using
WorkManager Expedited Work for background sync operations.
## Root Cause
When setExpedited() is used in WorkManager, the CoroutineWorker must implement
getForegroundInfo() to return a ForegroundInfo object with a Foreground Service
notification. On Android 9-11, WorkManager calls this method, but the default
implementation throws: IllegalStateException: Not implemented
## Solution
- Implemented getForegroundInfo() in SyncWorker
- Returns ForegroundInfo with sync progress notification
- Android 10+: Sets FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_DATA_SYNC for proper service typing
- Added required Foreground Service permissions to AndroidManifest.xml
## Technical Changes
- SyncWorker.kt: Added getForegroundInfo() override
- NotificationHelper.kt: Added createSyncProgressNotification() factory method
- strings.xml: Added sync_in_progress UI strings (EN + DE)
- AndroidManifest.xml: Added FOREGROUND_SERVICE permissions
- Version updated to 1.7.1 (versionCode 18)
## Previously Fixed (in this release)
- Kernel-VPN compatibility (Wireguard interface detection)
- HTTP connection lifecycle optimization (SafeSardineWrapper)
- Stability improvements for sync sessions
## Testing
- Tested on Android 9 (API 28) - No crash on second app start
- Tested on Android 15 (API 35) - No regressions
- WiFi-connect sync working correctly
- Expedited work notifications display properly
Fixes#15

Compatible with: v1.2.0-v1.3.0
- Added dual-mode download for server restore
- Scans both /notes/ (new) and Root (old v1.2.0) folders
- Normal sync only uses /notes/ for performance

## 🐛 Fixed
- Initial Markdown export: Existing notes now exported when Desktop Integration activated
- Markdown directory structure: Files now land correctly in /notes-md/
- JSON URL normalization: Smart detection for both Root-URL and /notes-URL
- GitHub release notes: Fixed language order (DE primary, EN collapsible) and emoji
## ✨ Improved
- Settings UI: Example URL shows /notes instead of /webdav
- Server config: Enter only base URL (app adds /notes/ and /notes-md/ automatically)
- Flexible URL input: Both http://server/ and http://server/notes/ work
- Changelogs: Shortened for F-Droid 500 char limit
## 🔧 Technical
- getNotesUrl() helper with smart /notes/ detection
- getMarkdownUrl() simplified to use getNotesUrl()
