 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.
