What's new in GrahpeneOS v2023062800

add initial Pixel Fold support
replace unused BUILD_ID field with device name in release channel metadata
System Updater: add enforcement of device name in release channel metadata as a misuse resistance improvement
Settings: mark DSUs (Dynamic System Updates) as unsupported
Launcher: add back Storage Scopes and Contact Scopes links to launcher icon shortcuts since this is now separate from the recent apps screen
Pixel Tablet: set default screen rotation to landscape mode (270 degrees) since we disable auto-rotation by default (due to the manual rotate button appearing after rotation) and the current default means that the device starts locked in portrait mode in the initial setup which gives a bad impression
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Generic 5.10): add missing non-security patch
Vanadium: update to version 114.0.5735.196.0
Auditor: update to version 73

Previous GrapheneOS release also introduced support for Pixel Tablet.
