Qt Android ActivityView supports Android 13

We have upgraded the ActivityView to support Android 13 (and AAOS 13). Users can migrate or create hybrid HMIs with native Android content, e.g. 3rd party apps embedded into a Qt-based home screen UI. The example below shows Angry Bird game running inside the Qt-based hero app.

For existing Qt for Android Automotive users, we recommend you update from earlier 6.2.x, 6.3.x, 6.4.x, and 6.5.x. If your project is based on 5.15.x, please follow the Qt 6 migration guide.
