feat(Reddit): add Change package name patch

[nikhilbadyal]

Application

Reddit

Feature description

Google made some in recent days and now modded apps also show up in Play Store Update menu. This is creating an issue for reddit app.

Can we migrate this patch from Revanced to change package for Reddit Extended? Or a new patch for Reddit also like YT & YT Music.

Motivation

After being shown in Play Store it's annoying and wastes bandwidth as even if we click on update in Playstore. It downloads the update and fails in the end.

I haven't tested that patch
iirc in certain apps, force close occurred when changing the package name

I have finished testing to implement this patch.

I was able to implement the patch in two ways, and Pros and Cons according to each method are as follows.

Method 1. The 'Change package name' patch provided by the official ReVanced Patches
: This only changes AndroidManifest's 'package' name.

• Pros: Available in RVX Manager and CLI.
• Cons: Unlike YouTube or YT Music, you could not install multiple Reddit apps.

Method 2. The 'Change package name' patch that has been improved a bit on my side
: Change not only AndroidManifest's 'package' name, but also the permissions and provider's package name.

• Pros: You can install multiple Reddit apps, such as YouTube or YT Music.
• Cons: Not available in RVX Manager.

I decided to combine Method 1 and Method 2.

In other words, if you try patching in RVX Manager, Method 1 will be applied.
If you try patching in Revancify, rvx-builder, or CLI, Method 2 will be applied.

This will be reflected in the next release.

I always use cli. Anyways good that you decided to go ahead with 1 & 2 both.
