More progress on better bridge support and "full device" VPN mode... and
a bit of a UI update, too!

APK: https://guardianproject.info/releases/Orbot-v15.0.0-ALPHA-4.apk
ASC: https://guardianproject.info/releases/Orbot-v15.0.0-ALPHA-4.apk.asc

On the bridge front, we now support QR code scanning, since the
https://bridges.torproject.org/ site now displays bridge info as QR
codes optionally. You can also display your current bridge config as a
QR code, so that your friends can easily scan/set it up for themselves.

To use the "Meek" bridge, you just turn on bridges w/o having any config
(press the new [BRIDGE] button on the main screen), and it will use the
Meek Azure bridge by default. If you set the config info to 1 you can
use the Google Cloud bridge, 2 = Azure and 3 = Amazon AWS. If you want
to learn more about why you would send your Tor traffic through Google,
Microsoft or Amazon, read here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/meek

Finally, the VPN mode is working well, but you can't use bridges with
VPN mode together yet... still trying to make that work smoothly.
