#29757: TBA: Delete Orbot Providers

------------------------------------------+------------------------
Orbot (and OrbotService specifically) implement three Android app
Providers:
- HSContentProvider
- FileProvider
- CookieContentProvider
These are used by Orbot's onion service subsystem where the user can run a
service from their device or store an auth cookie associated with an onion
service.
We do not need these at this moment and we don't have plans for exposing a
UI for these, and the existance of these prevents installing multiple
versions of TBA (using different package names) because the Provider names
collide. We can safely delete these from the service's manifest and
TorService class.
