Change the bitmap transformation strategy when a 1:1 aspect ratio is enabled to not stretch the bitmap but rather crop it. On Android 11/12, the way the whole thumbnail was used for the notification icon was not ideal, however the setting to toggle a 1:1 (as it states in settings) resulted in distortions. Fix this by simply cropping the bitmap.

By the way @opusforlife2, should I update the setting string to remove the "May cause distortions" portion? Or will this be done by the maintainers? |
|
Go ahead. 👍 |
Update the 1:1 mode strings to remove mentions of scaling or distortions, as those no longer apply.
|
Done. This can probably be merged now @opusforlife2. |

Kudos, SonarCloud Quality Gate passed! |

Note: we have to delete translations of the strings updated in this PR in order to apply their changes in translations. |

Uhm, no? Weblate already takes care of asking translators to re-translate outdated strings, if I remember correctly. |

Description of the changes in your PR
While using the whole thumbnail for the notification's large icon works fine on Android 10 and below, it breaks down on Android 11/12, in which it leaves a large amount of whitespace. The 1:1 option is also not ideal here, as it distorts the thumbnail in an unappealing manner.
This PR changes the scaling mechanism used to crop the thumbnail to a 1:1 ratio instead of stretching it. More specifically, it picks the smaller dimension from the thumbnail and then scales the larger dimension down to fit, cropping the thumbnail to the center in the process. I feel this is much better than how the option currently works.
