Feature description

Newpipe should use the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android TV devices so that file I/O works properly/bug-free.

Why do you want this feature?

Storage access seems to be broken on Android TV, which affects Newpipe's file I/O operations, such as importing subscriptions.

See #8195 (comment) and #8195 (comment) for context.
