  1. Add support for apps supporting PROCESS_TEXT intents. 

    In the context menu that appears when a user selects text, add a new submenu which includes third-party activities which handle the `PROCESS_TEXT` intent. This will allow processing the selected text in other apps.

Some links about this type of interaction with other apps:
* Manifest config required to work on Android 30+: https://developer.android.com/training/package-visibility/use-cases
* `PROCESS_TEXT` intent action: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT)
* Blog post by Ian Lake on how to make an app appear in the system text selection menu: https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/custom-text-selection-actions-with-action-process-text-191f792d2999

Since the text selection menu is customized in termux, if we want the text selection menu to include this functionality, we have to add it ourselves (this commit :) ).
