[android] Fix synchronized contacts not appearing in some contact apps

Certain contact apps require the account to be syncable. In order to do this, we implement a stubbed sync service and adapter which does nothing and ask Android not to call it. Preexisting installations of the app will need to turn contact synchronization off and on again to receive this fix. Closes #6568. Co-authored-by: paw <[email protected]>
