Currently the keys in the wallet can be encrypted using a spending pin. With this PR we propose a new encryption type which leverages the Android KeyStore and Biometric Authentication to encrypt the keys. It is not a replacement of the spending pin but an addition.
This change requires additional changes in bitcoinj. The files in wallet/libs/ are built from the proposal_keycrypterfactory_new_encryptiontype branch.
With Android Studio 2022.3.1 Patch 2 this current settings should build without additional changes
