This switches the backup mechanism to key/value backups, but just points to Android's BackupAgentHelper, which doesn't do anything by default. This is more reliable than fiddling with the various full backup configs and works on all supported versions of Android. Android backups are disabled because they cannot be done safely. Even if the database is excluded (preventing accidental data loss due to missing files inside shared folders), it is still possible to have the same backup restored to multiple devices, which could definitely cause sync issues. Instead, users should just use the built in import/export functionality. Signed-off-by: Andrew Gunnerson <accounts+github@chiller3.com>
