app: add configuration FTP server

This is a ridiculous workaround to make the configuration (and other files) accessible to the user
necessary after the new storage access restriction enforced in Android 11 which prevent other
applications from accessing the supposedly public application's directory.

The app's internal private storage directory is now exposed to the user through an embedded FTP
server that the user can turn on and off from the configuration activity. The user can then play
with the configuration and retrieve logs through a remote or local FTP client application of their
choice.
