fix(app): secrets are kept out of screenshots and the recent apps

The recovery phrase, recovery codes and an authenticator's QR code and
key now show inside a SecretScreen: on Android it holds FLAG_SECURE while
it shows (through a channel each app's MainActivity answers, counting
holds, as several may show at once; ScreenGuard.kt), so screenshots,
screen recordings and the recents view don't get them; on iOS, which has
no such flag, it covers them while the app isn't in front, so the app
switcher's picture doesn't hold them (Dart-side, not checked on a device).
Desktops do neither: a window loses focus whenever its person turns to a
password manager. Todo's debug APK builds with it.
