The crash happens due to android 8.0 background restrictions if TermuxActivity is not in foreground/whitelist and attempts to start TermuxService. With this commit, the app will not crash but will just exit with a toast message.

Closes#2552
Activity will only be recreated when `termux-reload-settings` is run or `night-mode` config does not equal current system mode when TermuxActivity is initially started. Running `termux-reload-settings` can cause some problems if some variable whose state should be maintained or reset is not being done so correctly, like termux session shortcuts weren't before 4fd48a5a. It requires further testing and any bugs should be reported.
The `List<KeyboardShortcut> mSessionShortcuts = new ArrayList<>()` declaration was causing shortcuts list to be of size 0 in `TermuxTerminalViewClient.onCodePoint()` after re-creation, which resulted in session shortcuts not working.
With this commit, activities will automatically change theme between day/night if `night-mode` `termux.properties` is not set or is set to `system` without requiring app restart.
Dialog theming will be fully added in a later commit and may currently be in an inconsistent state or have crashes.
The `uiMode` has been removed from `configChanges` of `TermuxActivity`, this may cause termux app to restart if samsung DEX mode is changed, if it does, then users should report it so that it can be fixed by re-adding the value and ignoring the change inside `TermuxActivity.onConfigurationChanged()`. The docs don't state if its necessary. Check related pull request #1446.
Running `termux-reload-settings` will also restart `TermuxActivity`, the activity data should be preserved.
