• versionName rc number and versionCode bumps in version.properties
• string.xml updates

Notice that unfortunately (or luckily, depending on how one looks at it) this code freeze sat idle in the PR queue for a day or so, resulting in new PRs landing in the release branch since opening it. This made the commits list a bit confusing (what's with the commit on the branch before the version bump?! ah! they are the commits from the feature branches that went from pointing to trunk to pointing to the release branch)

This turned out to be an advantage, though, because there have been some strings changes, see also p1707227033739459-slack-CC7L49W13. I haven't checked the Fastfile, but I'm pretty sure Android works like iOS and we'll need to run a command locally to update strings.xml. So, really, this will save us having to send two new strings notifications to the translators with the GlotPress automation 😄

@spencertransier I'm going to request changes to make sure the PR is merged only with the correct up-to-date strings.xml. Feel free to dismiss if I've missed something.

Sorry, I would find and run the automation myself, but I just run out of time and gotta do school drop off 🏃‍♂️

[spencertransier]

@mokagio I updated the frozen strings.xml files with the new string changes, so this is ready to merge. I can't actually create a new beta with the recent PRs because the automation checks out trunk first but can't find the 24.2 version because this PR hasn't been merged yet (I plan to put up a PR to remove the trunk checkout like we've done in the other apps). After this is merged, I'll create a new beta.
