Magisk: Android P APIs for SU requests

[Madis0]

I think that Magisk Manager should use the new authentication APIs for superuser requests if it is run on Android P.

• For normal SU request, Android Protected Confirmation (article)
• For biometrics-based SU request, unified biometric authentication (article)

The first would prevent more kinds of malware/hijacking and the second would let users use their face or iris alongside fingerprint to authenticate.

Currently, I have no idea how to integrate the new UI with superuser requests. Maybe one day if I'm too bored I'll think if there is a better way to rewrite the whole UI

The biometrics UI should be easier to implement as the OS provides it's own UI, FWIW.
