Android has the same limitation as iOS in regard to file creation, so it can't create the state file at the default location returned by ServiceManager's GetStatePath (/var/lib/netbird/state.json)

Describe your changes
Allows user to toggle network resources on android client via exported functions.
Since we can't update the routes table on android's tun interface after creating a VPN when a network route change is detected, this also exports a function to renew the tun.Device's file descriptor used in android devices with a new implementation of WireGuard's tun.Device interface.
RenewableTUN is used in place of the created unmonitored tun on client/iface/device/device_android's Create function when passing a tun.Device to WGTunDevice's filteredDevice field. The unmonitored tun is added as a device to RenewableTUN, which manages a queue of tun.Devices internally.
Every call to a tun.Device method implemented by RenewableTUN uses the latest queued tun.Device's implementation.
When renewing a file descriptor in device_android, a new unmonitored tun is created with it, then it is added to RenewableTUN, deferring closure of the oldest tun.Device managed by it.
This also fixes a bug that didn't allow android clients to properly save its current profile's state with the same approach
used in iOS.
