Optimize Proguard rules (#4291)

Using saner defaults for R8 while reducing the app size even further.
- Add Kotlin compiler options to skip adding assertions in release
builds
- Remove `optimizations`, `optimizationpasses` and `dontpreverify` rules
that are ignored by R8
- Only keep runtime annotations by default. If other attributes are
needed by a specific library, these will already be provided by the
library rules (for example Retrofit or coroutines)
- Remove the obsolete rule allowing a View to reflectively call any
arbitrary public Activity method accepting a View as argument. This has
always been a bad practice and is not used in this project anyway
- Remove the rules related to enums. R8 already optimizes enums properly
out-of-the-box and keeping these rules may prevent some of these
optimizations
- Add support for the `@Keep` annotation. Even if it's not currently
used in the code base, it can be handy in the future
- Add a missing rule to prevent generic signature of `NetworkResult`
class from being removed in `MastodonApi` so Retrofit works
- Allow obfuscation and shrinking of `kotlin.coroutines.Continuation`,
matching the rule defined in the next release of Retrofit
- Remove the rule forcing the removal of `String.format()`. This method
is actually used in the code (and in third-party libraries) for other
things than logging so forcing its removal can do more harm than good.
