Move android saves folder back to /StardewValley

Since version 1.5, the saves folder on the android version of the game has switched from the StardewValley folder on the root of your SD card, to the /android/data folder. unfortunately, since android 14, accessing that folder without something like adb or root, is impossible.
This means save files cannot be backed up or transferred to another device at all without tinkering.

In addition, apps such as Stardew Sync on the play store, which ask you to select the saves folder, no longer work because of this, as /android/data doesn't not show up at all in the android file picker.

My suggestion is for the saves folder to be moved back to /StardewValley, or at least an accessible directory when 1.6 comes out in November, or after that.

I don't think it's that difficult to implement and I really don't understand why this change was made in the first place.

absolutely, I'm not even someone who plays on android but the amount of people I have to help about an issue that could be so simply changed is frustrating, would love to see the change reverted
