Move cached files to Android's cache #1215

Found out that Riot on Android repeatedly used up all my space by having stored media files from Matrix channels. It showed all the space in the Android space usage utility to be used up as app data. I finally found out that Riot has a 'Clear cache' settings menu entry which seems to delete the media files. It make more sens to me if the data would be categorized at Android level, so one could clear it the same way as for other apps.

You can install the application on a SD card if there is no more available storage on your device.
