VPN conflicts with some apps (e.g. Android Auto) #102

@brad-defined noticed he was unable to use wireless Android Auto while Nebula was running. I've been unable to connect to certain camera sync apps while Nebula is running.

VpnService.Builder offers a method, addDisallowedApplication() in order to configure certain apps to bypass the VPN.

WireGuard for Android allows users to select apps from a list to disallow or allow access to the VPN, while Tailscale uses a hardcoded list of known problematic apps to workaround the issue.

I've had trouble using chromecast in the past as well, when nebula vpn was active.

@brad-defined confirmed Android Auto wireless is working - Ian no longer has an Android device to test Chromecast with.
