#27473: TBA: Change package name for alpha

------------------------------------------+----------------------
In #26536, we created a temporary APK signing key for the alpha release.
Because we are only using a temporary key, We want to release the alpha
version using the package name `org.torproject.torbrowser_alpha`. This
will allow us to release the stable version as `org.torproject.torbrowser`
and users can have both apps installed in parallel. This isn't a great
user experience, but this allows us to more easily migrate users from
alpha to stable. If we don't do this, then users will be prevented from
installing the stable version over the alpha version because they will be
signed with different keys.
In addition, we'll use "Tor Browser for Android (Alpha)" as the display
name (or something similar).
