feat: Add Web Authentication support for Android

[susemeee]

Connection with issue(s)

This enables Web Authentication support on Android by adding an ability to call setWebAuthenticationSupport (Link) on the underlying android.webkit.WebView.

There are native WebAuthn integration available from AndroidX WebKit v1.12.1 or newer (Implementation Guide recommends v1.14.0) so the underlying dependency has to be updated. I noticed that #2722 also bumps the dependency version, so it might be better to merge them together.

Resolve issues #699 and #2249

Hey @susemeee! We've applied your WebAuthn (passkey) support for Android WebView (webAuthenticationSupport setting + WebAuthenticationSupport enum) into the zikzak_inappwebview fork — a community-driven fork with active maintenance. Also bumped androidx.webkit:webkit to 1.14.0 for the required API. Thanks for the contribution! 🚀
