Orbot for Android 16.6.0 BETA 1

MAJOR overhaul of VPN/tun traffic handling

• migrated to go-tun2socks
• implemented new routing of DNS traffic to Tor DNS port
• removed badvpn/tun2socks, jsocks and other legacy code

Orbot for Android 16.5.3 Release Candidate 1

UPDATE JAN 28: This release has a DNS issue/leak as documented in #589 that is being worked on

• Improve notification display with exit IP, country, and reliable up/down throughput display (bim!)
• Major improvement to VPN reliability through replacing pdnsd daemon with more reliable DNS layer (n8fr8, bim)
• Multiple small fixes, tweaks to startup/shutdown/restart reliability (bim, n8fr8)
• Updates to latest iptproxy release for small improvements to obfs4 and snowflake

Major work and thanks to @bitmold the defacto Orbot lead developer these days, @eighthave and @tladesignz for the work on core tor-android and iptproxy libraries, and @syphyr for all the feedback and support.

Orbot for Android 16.5.3 BETA 1
