Improve Storage Permission Handling

[alperozturk96]

• Tests written, or not not needed

• Remove the internal boolean flag used to determine whether the app needs to request storage permission. The app should always request the necessary permission if it has not been granted.

• Simplify the StoragePermissionDialog logic by removing the external listener. The dialog’s sole responsibility should be to either open the app settings to request “Manage All Files” permission or request read-only media access. Decoupling this functionality from external listeners improves code readability and reduces complexity

• Use precise and descriptive function names to improve code clarity and maintainability

• Remove redundant checks in the requestStoragePermissionIfNeeded() function. This function already internally verifies whether storage permission is required, making additional checks unnecessary

• Remove the readOnly parameter as its logic is implicitly tied to Android 11 and above (API level 30+). The current implementation redundantly checks the same condition (readOnly && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) multiple times, which is unnecessary and can lead to confusion

• Add READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED permission (Documentation)
